Inspired by the Victorian tradition of communicating with flowers, learn the language with Kathy.

This quilt was inspired by the Victorian tradition of bringing Tussie Mussie bouquets when you came to call. Tussie Mussies are unique and personal. Every sprig and blossom in each little nosegay conveys a “meaning” with the language of flowers. Depending on which herbs are included, a wide variety of personal messages can be sent.  Every well bred lady of the Victorian era was armed with a floral dictionary. I wore out 3, they were confusing and sometimes contradictory dictionaries doing the research for my “Language of Flowers” quilt. Surprises met me everywhere. Who knew that snapdragons meant Deception?
