Florida Braids and Flowering Plum

The fabrics for this wallhanging (that actually is tossed over the back of the glider rocker) were purchased while on a quick trip to Florida. I had flown to Hollywood Florida to spend 4 days sewing with about 20 women whom I had met on the WTIL list. No one knew I was going, it was a surprise to everyone (OK, LindaJ knew- - -but she wasn't talking either). How fun it was to keep it a secret. How fun it was to be introduced to each friend who I new by name but had never laid eyes on. We sewed non-stop with only one quick LQS break, these prints are what I found on my shopping trip. This is foundation pieced. Help me out LJ-Cher, what year was this 2000??






You asked, it's a Flowering Plum...here is another picture of it taken the same day. The day I took these pictures I went around the yard and took pictures of several things that were blooming...then we froze, so my tulips and daffodils are now sadly hanging their heavy heads. I am so pleased that not all of them had opened up, maybe there is still hope of having a few survive.
