The petal of cherry blossoms

This is Jo Morton's Little Women Club pattern called " Amy's choice"

Well, I call this quilt "Lea's choice".
Because I have changed the color scheme to fit me.

The original quilt was pink & brown.
I used a variation of pink with some soft green shade. I picked these colors thinking about my favorite flower (SAKURA).


SAKURA stand for Cherry blossom in English.

It's cherry blossom season in Japan around this time of year.
I love to see them during the day but they looks so beautiful at night also.
SAKURA is also my birthday flower. There are several different varieties of cherry blossom and my most favorite one is called SOMEI-YOSHINO.


Meanwhile,
I'm still working on some of my cross stitch projects.
I have many more to finish.

***************

Joさんのクラブのキルト『Amy's choice』が完成しました。
オリジナルはピンクとブラウンなのですが、私はピンクと少しくすみのある若草色を選んでみました。

というのも、私の大好きな桜の花に想いをよせて。

私の故郷も桜が開花しはじめたようです。 いいな〜桜見に行きたいな〜
自分の誕生月の花である桜、やはり一番好きな花です。
夜桜もいいんですよね〜。

クロスステッチの方はボチボチと。しかし確実に仕立てし上げなければならないものが増えていってます。
写真のものは、まだまだ序の口。(笑)

春色キルト素敵ですね。
3月はじめにNCに遊びに行ったときにはもう桜咲いていました。
やっぱりNHとは大分違います。

私も今Joさんの布を使ってきると作成中ですが、思っていたより地味になったかも。
ま、母のものなんでかえって良かったみたい。
