Garden Bug Inspiration

It was a great day to get outside and enjoy the mild weather and the herb garden was a-buzz with insect activity.

The colors and the textures really inspire me.

Look at these fennel seed heads ready to explode! Only a few more weeks of this garden bliss left.

I tried to capture the essence of the herb garden in a small quilt I began making a few years ago.  Every summer it gets pulled out and I put a few more stitches in it.

 

Probably should finish it, right?

I love Ginger's beautiful bug billboard! it's brilliant. It would be a shame to wash the chalk off.

you could actually transfer this to some fabric and embroider it - either red work or coloured threads... I did that when my ms*sophie was little and have a wonderful cushion made from it :)

I was trying to figure out how to save the chalk picture; taking a picture came to mind. These moments of inspiration come and go so quickly with children. Here today, gone tomorrow. I do save a lot of their artwork and doodles though, but an embroidered piece would be great wouldn't it?
