Summer flowers

A happy day spent sewing at a workshop aimed at getting the best from your sewing machine. We 'played' with different stitches and threads.
A pleasantly warm evening, so a walk round the garden was called for. The hardy fuschia was a cutting from our daughter's fiancees first house garden. It was a present from his Mum, so they wanted to keep it if possible. In the end I took a few cuttings and this one survived and has bloomed ever since. They didn't keep it themselves as they found one the same in their new garden. Now they've moved again, I'm trying another cutting!
Clever sewers I always think! Must be such a satisfying talent! Those long thin fuchsias are very attractive.

A lovely colourful garden Judith with all the flowers. I used to have this fuschia as a hedge along my front garden but I was always concerned as the school children picked the berries as they passed by and ate them. I have found out since fuschia berries can be made into a sweet jam.

@wendyfrost I'm glad the berries were edible. I've heard this before, but never tried them
