These are delphiniums that I had in my Georgia garden. They do not like the heat & you have to really nurture these flowers. They are actually high maintenance.....sort of like Divas of a Garden. Actually quite worth the trouble because of the beauty that they bring to a garden. They bring height & almost purple blue color that not many flowers have.
Sometime before I got to plant these flowers, I made a sketch of delphiniums & the following 26"wide x 23" length wall hanging was born. This way I could have them to look at during anytime of the year. I'm planning on making this one into a pattern but, I need to make some of the shapes a little larger so it's easier for handling.
Below are some closeups of very small butterflies & the quilting. All inspired by the garden.
Wish I could just magically snap my fingers & create one but, like all other quilting it takes time......
