    I so miss the bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush! I used to live in Lexington.
    Your projects are beautiful!

    You definitely captured the beauty of the wild flowers, your projects are lovely!

    Between Fredericksburg and Johnson City (same road as the Johnson's ranch) there is now a place called Wildseed Farms. They cultivate ACRES of wildflowers for seeds. In the spring the fields are just awash with color. A true feast for the eyes. I call it 'eye-candy'. They have a website that has some beautiful pics. Check out wildseedfarms.com.

    Lynnie - the purse pattern is a Geta Gamma pattern called Amelie. It is a well documented, delightful pattern to work with. Very clear instructions and photos. My mother especially likes the style, so......she gets a new one on occasion, lol. This time we both got one!

    I really miss seeing the golden poppies of California. Now I have to settle for Texas blue bonnets and other wild flowers. Sharon in Texas
