For this theme I once again took inspiration from my garden. Watching the seasonal changes is always fascinating. The garden is full of all sorts of flowers and the apple blossom has been particularly lovely this year. Here was the idea for my quilt – the apple tree in all seasons.

All the fabrics used were hand-dyed cotton. The threads used were cotton for piecing the background and rayon for the quilting and embroidery.
