Today, in between herding children, I've been chipping away at the garden and then pinning, pinning and some more pinning.
These are the stems for the flowers on a quilt I'm doing for a friend's little girl. All 105" of them. (The background is cream, not yellow, but that's what photographing at night will do for you.)
I designed these flowers with Jacobean crewel work in mind. They will be fused to the background and then machine appliqued down. I will embroider a few stamens here and there to flesh it all out.
I really love the over-the-top shapes and the how the colour combinations have worked. Plaids and polka dots! What more could you want?
