My blue and white Iris is in bloom. I love this plant and wait for it to bloom every year. It has not failed me yet. This thing is gorgeous!
And as I looked around my garden I noticed a lot of other bluish/purple plants in boom. Here are my perennial Geraniums, also known as Cranesbill.
And my Chives.
I bought this basket of Million Bells several weeks ago. I had to take it in and out of the house when the weather did not cooperate. But it survived and looks amazing right now!
That is when I remembered that I had some scraps sitting beside my sewing machine. So, yesterday, after returning from my outing with the Tuesday Friendship Quilters for an end-of-the-year luncheon, it started to rain like crazy! There was nothing else to do but sew my scraps together and make a cushion for one of the garden chairs.
I used an old pillow form that had seen better days. It is 14 inches square. The fabrics are not really outdoor ones. I will have to take this little cushion inside at night. But it feels great to use up some of my scraps and make something pretty for the garden. I hope to make several more of them from my scrap bin, in lots of other colours to match the flowers that will bloom later in the season.
