OUR GROUP CHALLENGES


Flowers
March 2016

"Flowers" was the challenge suggested by Terry. This time we will start off with Darby.

Don't you just love the wonderful colors in Darby's rug.



It is another fabulous example of her work!



Ronnie knocks it out of the ballpark with this sensational scarf.



Ronnie rocks with this original design.



Terry thought this looked like a bed of pansies.



This summer shawl would be terrific for that festive night out on the town.



Leila did the whole plant thing including the ground that flowers grow in.



All done with her superb choice of exotic yarns. How does she do it? Fearless!
