Nasturtiums

Nasturtiums are one of my favorite flowers to plant in the garden. They put up with all kinds of abuse - forgetting to water them, sandy soil - and they just keep blooming all summer. I had some this past summer that in spite of me forgetting to care for them started to grow up a neighbors pine tree. I thought they would make great designs to work on in the part of the world that is now experiencing winter. Their bright colors can cheer up any project. In addition to the items shown, they would make nice linens of any kind - table cloths, place mats or table runners. They could also be used in quilts and other pieced projects. The border designs can be combined in many ways to create cheery kitchen curtains or garments.
