On the weekend ...
I collected a pile of pretty spectacular fabric, some fusible web, a permanent maker and a pair of scissors and started work on an idea that has been bouncing around in my head for a while now.
I ended up with this ...
and this .....
and this ....
106 flowers, 3 lady bugs and 3 butterflies all arranged on some linen.
This will become Jessica's birthday quilt. Now it's off to spend some quality time with my machine!
Have a great week!
Kellie
omg, this is gorgeous. I just love the colors in the fabric you used. Can't wait to see more of it.

I've just shown this to my partner who, although a bloke, recognised how amazing your work is and asked "Should she do a book?". I say "Hell, yes!" How can I help?
