Maggie Bonanomi and a bunch of "Muguet"

on
In France, on May 1st, people buy a bunch of lily of the valleys ("muguet" in French) to bring home. So to celebrate May 1st, here's a small bouquet.


I also wanted to share with you the two folk art books I particularly like. I've had them for quite a long time. They are a real source of inspiration for me. The two books are from Maggie Bonanomi. As far as I know, there is another one that should be ready very soon!!!





The two project photos are from the books!

This is where I found the inspiration for the sentence "Gather up all the fragments so that nothing is lost" that I wrote on the banner of my Mystery Quilt block 1.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Until later,

    Bonjour David,
    J'ai ces 2 livres et j'adore.
    Je t'envoie ainsi qu'à ton épouse et tes filles de beaux brins "italiens" de muguet.

    Happy May Day, the lily's look lovely and must smell divine, mine are not out yet.
