My Pansies are blooming. I was looking thru my bin of old projects and found this one with a pansy theme. As I look at it now - a couple years later I wonder why I didn't dye the lace ecru color! It stands out too much in the stark white. Oh well. It was a fun piece to put together.

Pansies are one of my favorite flowers!! I love your pansy project.The colors are great.
Pansies are so fragile looking, I really like this piece and will take time to check out the website you posted on Friday.
Thank you for taking the time to check in on me, you are very thoughtful.All is well with me just been REAL busy. BE BLESSED
I agree the ecru would have been more pleasing, but this is still a very lovely block.
Cat,
This is so gorgeous!!! I love the lace just as it is...
You are so talented!

Ecru or not, it's a beautiful piece! It's fun to look back and see how we've grown, isn't it?
Another lovely work of art. And I don't care if its ecru or not,,its awesome.
Lady says Woof woof to Mr. Blue!!

I love this quilt....!
(((I thought I had left a comment on this post ?)))
To me , the white lace looks perfect - like all of your creations. Each piece has everything right where it should be , just as it should be.
Beautiful Cat ! Beautiful.
Wow when I enlarge the photo... I can really see more details and your stitches are amazing. I love that one in the upper left - the circle....sort of a star burst ? And then that silk ribbon stitching down in the lower left....! the little lavender spike. LOVE THAT ! oooh , this is so gorgeous. It is such a work of art !
(so this is in a BIN ? not displayed ??? good GRIEF!)
You could still dye them right on the piece. I've done it. I used a small paintbrush and the Oze dyes. Worked very well!
Or what about taking tea bags that you've used and pressing them gently into the lace, until the color changes a bit?
Looks perfect to me! Love the combination and the contrast. Would look fabulous in an antique frame. Would love to see it on ebay!
Oh, your pansy cq looks gorgeous! When I re-start my sewing projects (this autumn at the lastest), I definitivly should try some flower (ribbon) embroidery, too!
Hope your are doing fine!
Have a wonderful week-end and best wishes from Germany,
Anita

Rec'd the Believe crazy quilt and it is BEAUTIFUL like all your art is. Just wonderful. Oh yes, and give precious little Blue a hug.
I was thinking the same thing about the teabags. I too, love this piece. But then again, I love everything you do!
