Wall Flowers

Wall Flowers would look great on the wall of a nursery.  This is a machine applique piece onto an extra large Ohio Star background.

Delft Dots

I love combining all my favorite things in one complete picture, literally.  This is the latest wall-hanging I made.  The flowers and stems are machine applique.  The flower dots are two and three layers.  When I finished I realized that it wasn't quite right, so I got out my watercolors.  I concentrated on the stems and centers of the flower.  I also left the leaves unattached and curved them to add a dimensional effect. I love the look and can't wait to try applique and painting again!

More to Come

I am sooooo excited to be purchasing an embroidery machine with the tax return this year.  I have already started cutting fabric and making napkins and place mats.  I can't wait to get started.  It seems like things are finally starting to come together.  Now the test is going to be to maintain the momentum without burn out.  I look forward to more Blogging, more Etsy, more Craftsy and lots of creative fun!!
