Working on my NEW Zinnia pattern!

My new Zinnia pattern that I will be  teaching in Houston in a couple of weeks.  But I can't leave well enough alone. So I have been trying it out in other colors. Size 25" x 28".

How about purple red and orange? size 45" X 45".   Trying out these colors, before I hand dye fabric packs, for my students.

Zinnia's come in every color. I think this will be perfect.
.

 I am using the pattern just like my students will. And of course, because it me, I found a few type Os's.  

 How about a little turquoise for the leaves?

Just chunks of color, made up mostly of my hand dye's, with some Hoffman batik thrown in for good measure. Now the Thread!

    Oh Melinda. As usual this is a mouthwatering piece. I love it, especially the bits of turquoise in the leaves. I'm looking forward to seeing it up close and personal in a quilt show.

    Wonderous! I'm loving the different colors. Adding turquoise to a leaf -- who'd'a thunk it?

    Love your work Melinda and this Zinnia is gorgeous. I wish I could be in Houston for your workshop, but I have to stay in Holland. Such a shame! I hope I can see your work in real some time.

    Melinda - I love your new Zinna pattern! Will you be teaching this in the Sacramento area anytime soon? I've taken one of your other classes. If you have no upcoming classes, do you ever sell the pattern and a pack of your dyed fabrics on an individual basis?
