This year has given our whole neighborhood a bumper crop of Hydrangeas -- and the most spectacular fuchsia color that I've ever seen. Of course I had to use this color in a heart loop-pile embroidery.
Add to that the finding of this marvelous dragonfly charm - hidden in amongst my stash of 'found objects' - the heart practically made itself.

That is beautiful. I love the colors as well.
ReplyDelete...delightful...
ReplyDelete...as always :-)))
Beautiful work - thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAny year we get any Hydrangea flowers at all is a banner year, even just one! This is a unique color, and I'm sure your bushes are beautiful, but I wonder if they can be as lovely as your piece and all the thought that went into it. I want to be your neighbor and benefit from your art and your thoughts first-hand. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color combination and details.
ReplyDeleteI love all your hearts. This one is a beauty too. And I covet that dragonfly!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend whose symbol is a dragonfly. Chris, you are going to get me searching the net for punch-needles!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck did I write Chris for?.....Sorry Penny!
ReplyDeleteThe advantage of the stitched variety of garden is that even my "brown thumb" does it no harm!
