Just for your interest, I don´t think you can see clearly in the picture but the tea bags were dyed with different colours of tea, I wish I could remember the name of the leaf she used, its a white almost opal affect petal from a flower that dries that way. it will come back to me LOL probably in the middle of the night

Is it the silver seed pod from 'Honesty' Lunaria, is it's Latin name Elle!

Yes you clever thing you. Its honesty that was shown on the tea bag wall hanging.
Thanks Izy Elle

Fond memories of my Granny and this flower Elle, we used to gather them in the hedgerows and peel the outer cases off to reveal the silver disc

That was very kind of you to share all those pictures. It is always interesting to see quilts from other countries and their visions of quilting. At the bottom of your pictures you had the date 2/1/2025. Did you not change it to 2011?

I also want to send you my thanks for taking the time to post all of these photos. They are definitely inspiring. I am going to look into that MistyFuse that Lenore Crawford uses. It sounds better than the fusible I have been using. Again, thanks for your generosity in posting. (Spain sounds wonderful!)
