Wool Appliqued Foxglove...

Hand Dyed Wool Foxglove Flowers

I love the old fashioned cottage gardens of Delphinium, 
Foxglove and Snap Dragons.




Last Spring, some of my Foxglove reached an amazing 6 ft. tall.  This entire 'stand' of Foxglove was "self sown" from the previous years plants.  



The Hummingbirds love the bright colors.




I have chosen some pink and coral shades of wool for these Foxglove flowers.  Can you see the curvy stems that I have marked ?
By marking the stems ahead of time, 
it allows me to know where to place my flowers. 

More to come as this project takes shape...
