I have been working on this piece only for the last couple of hours off and on so that I can take it with me when I meet my friend, Jan, for lunch. It is for her birthday. She, like myself, loves gardening and is an excellent quilter of some 40 plus years. I have left it without binding etc. so that she can incorporate it into her quilting somehow. As she doesn't have an embellisher I know that she will enjoy something different to work with.
I made this on the embellisher using printed silk with roses, lace, organza, organza ribbon, dyed mohair (from our goats) and silk tops. It measures 8" x 12". I would have loved to spend more time on this with beads etc. but so hum! no more time!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Your friend is most fortunate to have such a generous and talented friend. I am sure she knows that.

ReplyDeleteYour lovely comment is so appreciated!
AND I hope you had a really wonderful 50th Wedding Anniversary - Congratulations to you Judy! That is really something to blog about well at least to your friends.
Found your site through Judy at Judy's fabrications.I am finding both of your sites so wonderful and I looked at your things on Etsy, the quilt is pure joy to see. I live in very rural France and badly need to see beautiful work to inspire and motivate me.
