Not much happening in the Thread Shed
since the flower beds started
grabbing my attention.
Much of the inspiration for my quilts
comes from life here on the farm...

This gives me all the inspiration I need to make
"The Iris and the Fly"

Keep your camera at the ready....you never know when inspiration will strike!
As always, I am happy to share my photography.
