Madeira Days


In Madeira as usual at this time of year and enjoying lovely weather whereas it is usually much more changeable. I made the most of being able to sit on the balcony and sew my EPP quilt-of-the-crosses while sipping a small tot of port, a one week of the year only habit.
Every year I take pictures of flowers here with a view to printing some out onto fabric and using in a quilt. Yesterday we visited the Palheiro Gardens where there were some remarkable specimens culled from all over the world.

How lovely to be away in the warm. I love how some of those flowers are so dramatic they look almost like alien creatures.
