Deer, Flower and Quilt........

This is what I fight - mom deer walks past my garden about 4 times during the day - going to the neighbors to get something to eat. They have a pan of corn and pellots under a tree.
Luckily I have those little bags of Green Screen and mom just walks on by the trellis (string that you see) for the peas. So far, she has stayed out of the garden. She will bring her little ones - I'm sure there is more than one - out for us to see soon. This is a close up of a clematis flower.
Macro of the center of the flower.


Super macro!!!!!!!!!!!! I love playing with the features on my camera.

The top is done.
I haven't had time to think about a backing - will look later this morning. The cookie jar was empty and I had baking to do!!!

If you look carefully about half way down on the right inner turquoise border you can see some prarie points from Nelda. I also used some to make a pinwheel that is in the lower right of the outside border. I'm sure she saw this on the line yesterday.
I know my neighbor did and came over to take a picture too!!!!


This is the upper right corner. I added this flower to cover for a major stupid mistake on my part - but it caused me to be creative!!!!





This is the view from the back - the sun was shining and it has a real stained glass look!!!!!!!
The colors in this picture look so bright - and that's what the quilt really looks like!!


Now on to the quilt for Marcia and Dick.

I love the stained glass look from the back ... it is a whole new quilt!

Good luck protecting your garden from the deer.

I love the quilt. It has really evolved since Quilt Retreat II. Your neighbor needs to be reminded that it is not legal to feed the deer any longer. Maybe they need a visit from the DNR. The law was put in place to protect us and the deer population.

I just used that black & white print in my quilt! (Love the colors those are right up my alley!)

The quilt is beautiful. The reverse side looks almost like an illustration colored in with colored pencils or markers.

The clematis almost look fake. My dad had one that I had to look at more than once to see if Mother had put fake flowers on it.
