Here in the Pacific Northwest, we struggle to grow a decent zinnia, but we have beautiful fuchsias in so many amazing color combinations, which are particularly suited to our mild climate. My husband says to be safe, I should wait until Mother’s Day, but today is a gorgeous day, and I couldn’t wait any longer to hang my new fuchsia on the porch.
These matching Art Nouveau designs are from 1910 newspapers, and meant to be used on a blouse and a skirt panel (hence the odd shapes). These are the only fuchsia embroidery patterns I’ve ever seen, and although they are quite large, I think you could just use small elements of the designs. As usual, click on the images to enlarge.
Thank you!
Beautiful basket and lovely patterns!
Gorgeous! My gramma always had fuchsias hanging on her patio. That’s an interesting design, too.
Beautiful flowers, Martha! Happy Spring 🙂
How pretty! I’m not familiar with fuchsias, but we do pretty well with zinnias in NC.
Dear Martha, Such beautiful designs. In your Workbasket Flower designs you are missing December’s 1954 flower. I just recently acquired that magazine and would like to share the flower design with you with my permission to add it to your collection to share.
