But, STOP!
There are violets blooming
and more violets blooming.
In fact, there is a whole patch of violets.
How could I possibility mow down these beauties?
They even come in white.
There is no way that I can mow. I've chosen to simply enjoy the scene. The bits of grass and weeds scattered in my violet patch are safe until another day.
The quilt of the day is
"Mowing Around the Violet Patch"
8"x8" Quilter's Tile
featuring
silk ribbon embroidery and
machine applique and machine quilting.
I agree, don't cut them down just yet! When I was a child I would take the flowers and dip them in egg whites and then sugar. Crystallized violets!
ReplyDeleteAnd they taste like those violet candies I so loved (and you can't find anymore!)
Not cutting the violets down but picking them and eating them, oh.... what a yummy idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt coming from a beautiful inspiration! Well done :-) I like how your mind works
ReplyDeleteMy mom told me my Dad also mowed around the violets. Could it be hereditary?
