Inspiration.....from the Flower Bed

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 week the flower bed filled up with Iris blooms...

They are giving the camera a good work out!

I got in really close to take a photo...

and out popped this little guy from inside the Iris...

He is letting me know that he was here first...

He's not backing down or flying away...

He is coming closer to get a better look at me...

He is not impressed with me at all...

He returns to the inside of the flower...

This gives me all the inspiration I need to make

"The Iris and the Fly"

quilt some day.

Keep your camera at the ready....you never know when inspiration will strike!

As always, I am happy to share my photography.

Please feel free to use these images in your personal art work.
