These are flowers from my BIL and SIL&#8217;s backyard and I have been admiring their shape for ages. Today I had my camera and good sun all at the same time. I was able to take a snap that I can hopefully use for my quilt someday.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogger\/_IlKX5cJn1Zk\/Rke2XfUPe2I\/AAAAAAAAAkE\/msVguLVmSxU\/s1600\/PICT8328-500.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/blogger\/_IlKX5cJn1Zk\/Rke2XfUPe2I\/AAAAAAAAAkE\/msVguLVmSxU\/s320\/PICT8328-500.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064216820661058402\" \/><\/a><br \/>This card was given to my MIL. I took a photo because I like the shadowing and the slight offsetting (is that a word??) of the flower on the right. I also like the way the artist used dots as the stems. I thought the shapes of the flowers were perky and fun as well.
