"In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure." - Bill Cosby
This week I made 3 flowers for myforest garden! I know I have one follower who has a special connection to these Oz characters because she used to have to polish them quite often! These are the famous "Talking Trees"............

There is beautiful garden blooming at Karen's Journey of a Quilter Blog and One Flower Wednesdays........please click HERE to go there and smell the flowers.....

............and last but not least.........here is the update on my Cross Terrain Apple quilt...........I have 18 of the 36 blocks for the top made........actually around the edge of the quilt the blocks will be half blocks and quarter blocks so there will only be 25 actual full blocks .........I hope I remember that when I get to that point....lol.........don't relish the thought of having to book a date with my seam ripper! Still trying to decide about using the little half square triangles (is that what they are called? I'm not that up on all the "quilty lingo")......they are so small I'm not sure I will end up with good points if I use them on the quilt........I might save them for a smaller project and if I have enough fabric maybe make largerhalf square triangles of those thingies instead............

Congrats on your nomination, I sure believe your blog is wonderful and enjoy your posts and encouragement.
I laughed right out loud.... of course when I saw those hexi trees I immediate recalled my teenage experience of polishing the apples hanging in the trees along-side the yellow brick road at the Land of Oz theme park in Banner Elk. A fun summer recalled. Happy Stitching! Becky G.
Your flowers are great!!! I love the Wizard of Oz! Congrats on the blog award; I'm glad I found you!

Wow! Your Terrain quilt is coming along beautifully. I can't wait to see it in real life. Love your talking tree hexie flowers. Congratulations on your award. I knew you'd have a great blog once I got you to "just do it!"
The talking trees are wonderful! I hope you have a little forest of them in your quilt. (I've never seen the Wizard of Oz, so I don't know if they came in a whole forest - but they would look great as one)
Your flowers look scary to me...anyway it is really creative of you and congratulations on the award!!
