Lion In The Dahlias

 The Palmgarten had a huge block of dahlias planted when we were there in September.  They were gorgeous, and there was even a stately lion peeking out from among them.

More Patches

The second pumpkin is over halfway done now.  It looks like a patchwork quilt.  

Be Pillowed

I made up two of my winter crazy quilt squares into an ornament.  I think it came out pretty well!

Apples And Train!

 This is a sight never seen in a public garden in Moldova - fruit ready to pick burdening a tree.  It'd be gone in a heartbeat.  Beautiful trees, though.  We also found the train winding its way around the garden.  These photos of the train tracks and train were taken by the peonies and the children's playground.

Lots of Backstitching

All that green and such had to be backstitched in the L.  I've gotten that done, and now it's time to finish the border.

Crooked Picture

The photo is slightly crooked, but it does show that I've gotten one of the middle flowers done and put a good dent in the second.  Going through my fairly bad transfer job, I wonder if there's a transfer service out there for those of us who are inept at doing it?

Back Outside

 More wandering around the Palmgarten.  The place is enormous!  These flowers around the greenhouses and in the pond were sometimes a challenge for me to take photos of.
