Zinnia Placemats with Thermoweb

Today’s project is inspired by the garden I grow every year. In addition to sewing and crafting, my other passion includes tending my veggie and flower garden as well as preserving the wonderful bounty I receive each year. My eldest daughter is actually named after my favorite flower: Dahlia. The photo below shows my garden at the pinnacle of the growing season last year.

Since it is only early June, my garden this year is still very small. But give it a couple more months and it will be flooded with the same rainbow of hues and swarming of butterflies and hummingbirds.

Todays, project is specifically inspired by the zinnia flowers I grow every year. I love growing zinnias for fresh cut flowers inside my kitchen.
