Who else is excited to see the magnolias laden with buds ready to burst open into magnificent tulip flowers or starbursts? Hope there are no frosts or strong winds so we can get to revel in their splendour for a few weeks. #magnoliamonday #magnolias #tuliptree #stitchedart #artinstitch #embroideredart #textileart #machineembroidery #fabricandthread #magnificentmagnolias
