Blue

This post is about blue...but I can't help but share these curls from Janice's cucumber plants. I'm grateful for a wonderful evening last night with friends. Good company and great food are always a good thing....and...there's always something interesting to see at Janice's house.

My sister in law Alyson is the queen of curls....

so she'll be pretty tickled with these.

Blueberries, the sky, hydrangea, sapphires, delphinium, bachelor buttons and bluebirds....just some of the things that are beautiful blue.

The blue cards for our Rainbow Connection project are either in the mail....or in the hands of their new owners. Here's what I made for Tracie....and this time it's all fabric and stitch.

I started by fusing blue fabric swatches onto a thin piece of interfacing....

then added decorative stitching along the seams.

I cut circles from several different fabrics...and fused them to the top.

Trees?....flowers?....lollipops?....you decide.

Before I trimmed it up and stitched it onto the white card...I did a little hand stitching on a few circles.  It might be a little too subtle...but it's there.

These are two of the fabric pieces I cut from.

I put a little phrase on the back.....

...and embellished some blue polka dotted scrapbook paper

 with white daisy dots for the envelope liner.

I got Tracie's in the mail today....and I can't wait to share it tomorrow.

I'll report on the others as I get photos.

It's time for purple!
