Winter trees in the snow, a photo by Lynne @ Lilys Quilts on Flickr.
I am making the Oakshott 12 trees quilt kit for my Mum's birthday in March. 3 trees down, 9 to go. You may see more photos like this because I am head over heels in love with the irridesecent colours of these shot cottons. And because 8" of snow is forecast for tonight so I may be housebound with nothing to do but feed my four kids and husband, light warm fires, sew winter trees in shot cottons and tiptoe out in the snow to photograph them.
they take my breath away. Wonderful even on their own.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletewow if I chucked my sewing casually onto the snow it would be swept up by the bin men mistaking it for rubbish. Fandabbidozee.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing - but then you know already what I feel about them
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blocks, lovely photo too. Enjoy the warm fires and the sewing!
ReplyDeleteThese are breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteStunning trees. If the snow comes you will be snug sewing! Di xo

ReplyDeleteThe trees are fabulous in shot cottons. Great pattern.
ReplyDeleteLynn what a gorgeous picture and wonderful blocks! You can really see how beautiful the fabric is in that shot. And snow? so jealous, it's piddly rain here :(
ReplyDeleteSounds like a movie, all you need is Bing Crosby!
ReplyDeleteLoooove the trees. :)
ReplyDeleteWish we had some snow. We have had one mediocre snowfall this winter so far and that's it. :(
LOVE!!! Shot cotton colors are spectacular, perfect for your trees.
ReplyDeletedang it Lynne -- stop making everything look so good!
ReplyDeleteStunning trees, stunning photo...is there anything you don't do well?!
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to sew along with you but with the exchange rate (Canada), the price was too steep!
ReplyDeleteYour trees are gorgeous!! I hope you don't mind if I live vicariously through you.
Those are really cool and have fun with the snow...I know your kids will!
ReplyDeleteoooh, sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOk...that does it now that you are actually making them. I have the site tabbed. I love everything about this kit. Actually not sure about the free form trees, but you are doing fine. I was hesitant to order out of the country, but I think I will go for it.
ReplyDeleteLooking absolutely gorgous!
ReplyDeleteSo stunning. The colours of the shot cottons are so so stunning...and beautifully made. Mais bien sur.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I want to investigate shot cottons at some point, but I have a pile of things I have to do first o.O
ReplyDeleteWow, they're gorgeous! Lets pray for now, we want to see more! ;o)
ReplyDeleteWow - I want to make these. They're beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI do NOT need another project but I'm so tempted by this kit. Off to figure out what it would cost to get to the U.S.
ReplyDeleteThe trees are so beautiful. I want to see those shot cottons in person. I have never seen any.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I not know you have 4 kids. For some reason I thought 2!
beautiful lynne - your ma will love it
ReplyDeleteWow!! What fun to be snowed in!! Living in the desert, that hasn't happened here!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so admiring your trees! BTW I am a follower.
