First up is one of the stalls selling lily of the valley (muguet). These are traditionally sold on the 1st of May here as symbols of springtime and good luck.

Finally, the latest progress on my miniature hexagon quilt. I'm almost halfway through stitching the rows together (the bottom left section). I hope to finish this part of the project and add the batting and backing by next weekend. After that I will be putting it aside for a while as I have two wedding samplers (both in the same design) and a house warming gift to stitch before the end of the July. I have stitched both the designs for these before so I know it is achievable within my timeframe.

Oh that flower market looks lovely Mary. I love lily of the valley but I can't seem to get it to establish in my garden
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to be able to wander round such a beautiful flower market. I too love lily of the valley bit like Christine it doesn't grow well in our garden either.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your photos of the flower show, Mary--I always enjoy seeing pictures of areas where blogging friends live. Reminds me to go check on my lily of the valley, too. It grows on a side of the house that I don't see every day :)
ReplyDeleteLovely progress on your quilt!
Great pictures from your flower market. My husband loves visiting them when they are up in our region. And he always comes home with new flower pots for the garden.
ReplyDeleteI love that tradition with the bouquets of lilies of the valley.
Nice progress on your miniature quilt.
