Purple was the colour this October's Challenge at 2QAQ. The one above I called "Petals on the Footpath" - free motioned quilted with purple thread. One below is called "Jacaranda Seeds" and the bottom one is "Purple Tree". Only 2 more months - November's colour is Rainbow (think Melbourne Cup, jockey's colours) and December is Black (bush fires). Nearly there.
Photocopied images of seeds on to fabric, hand appliqued on to purple background, single lazy daisy stitched to emulate the seeds.
The tree is an image from the internet, copied on to fabric, then I over stitched (by hand) the purple blossoms. The trunk was machine stitched.
Love all your jacaranda-inspired pieces! We can't grow jacarandas here, unfortunately.
