My NJ garden is waiting for an early spring for some colour. The left and right smaller branches/leaves are stitched and the centre branches/leaves are in place ready for needle and thread.
Then I couldn't help myself and started playing with all the pieces cut ready and waiting to "Spring" into action. There's a lot of work for July but I'm excited with how it's starting to look. A few more fabric pieces to choose yet.
While it's school holiday time, hubby and I have been spending time in the outdoor garden. Time for my tired rose bed to have a spruce up with some new roses to go in and fill the gaps. New edge ... new dirt ... and a good prune.
The drought had taken it's toll on the gardens and this next one had several trees that didn't make it. Then the grass and weeds took over so a big clean-up was called for.
More pruning over the next week on another garden bed but mainly just tidy up stuff. My NJ centre block will also start to bloom over the next few weeks.
Happy Gardening >^..^<
Beautiful block Narelle. Nice to see a teensy bit of green at your place. Enjoy your break xx
ReplyDeleteYour block is lovely, it's nice to have time to just play with your fabrics. Always feels good to have a tidy up in the garden.
ReplyDeleteLove all your different types of gardening. I am dying to plant roses but will have to wait until the new house is built......in a year!
ReplyDeleteMust be enjoyable to play with your fabrics & see what you like the look of, Narelle... I hope the new rose bushes like their refreshed garden bed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful block - I'm loving the pieced background.

ReplyDeletegreat work in the garden too, it's nice to refresh the beds and replant too.
Oh you centre is looking good.....
ReplyDeleteI have some garden deaths the need to be pulled out...... Also some trimming..... Need to nail my boss to a day to get it done..... I don't use the chainsaw.....
Great start on your July NJ block Narelle. Love the colours and fabric choices. Good work in the rose bed. Shame the trees couldn't survive the drought. We have the reverse problem... too much rain and this is supposed to be summer! Don't do too much digging all at once...xxx
