Which ties in nicely to my blogging theme this week: springtime kimonos. I thought I'd share another one with you....Can you guess which one?? TA DA -- It's my IRIS KIMONO of course:
Here's an up-close look at the different patterns used in this design, plus the irises along side:
All of my kimonos are stitched on 24 ct. Congres Cloth (apprx: 9" x 9"). When a store owner asked if they could also be stitched on 18 ct canvas, I said I'd stitch one up and see how it looked. Here's the same IRIS KIMONO stitched on 18 ct canvas (10" x 12" and equally lovely) in a different color combo:
Anyway, I hope this bouquet of irises - real and stitched - brightens up your Friday!

Oh, just lovely Laura....both the kimonos and the iris'! Winter is hanging on here in Colorado, yesterday we were covered in hail and today I have 6" of snow and still falling. The mountains are getting about 2feet-great if you want to ski; I'd rather be stitching. :) Have a happy day and thanks again for the flowers.
They're lovely - and yes, they did brighten up my Friday!
Thank you -- I LOVE Irises. I have your Iris Kimona started in my stash...I must dig it out and complete it.
How Pretty!!! I love Irises, especially purple.
Oh' this is the first time I saw a blue Iris. I like it. Wish I can also have it on my garden. Anyway, thanks for sharing this post.
