Grapes, Inside and Out

Last Friday my grape hyacinths 

 looked like this.

By Sunday they looked like this:

 wearing little snow caps and

buried under another 6 inches of new springtime snow.

At least the grapes I've been working on

haven't been affected by the weather.

I'm on the final part of the borders for

 Noah and Matilda

who, if you remember, 

 have been stuck in a tote for over a year.

Slowly and steadily the borders have

been appliqued.

Next it was time for adding the grapes. 

Hundreds of small circles had been prepped.

I found it easiest to make a template for precise placement

rather than using the light table.

 Then using a glue stick

I marked the positions of the 12

individual circles.

The purple school glue shows up great

and dries clear.

It was super easy to correctly

place the prepped circles

and applique.

 

I had actually thought the grapes would be the hardest

part, but no! 

I was pleasantly surprised.

A few more bunches to go

and then it will be time to figure out the corners.

The end is in sight.

Hopefully,

just like the snow here in Colorado.

Until Next Time-
