The beginning

This is the fist piece I made with my raw edge, free motion stitched flowers. I was doing workshops for a guild in Decatur, IL and this is the background that I made in the hotel room where I stayed. I was limited to just what I had with me and when I got home I sewed it together, but I was never happy with it. That is why I ventured into the unknown and tried putting flowers on as another layer. If I had never made an unsuccessful piece, I may never have said "What if?". It is still an unsuccessful background as far as smooth blend is concerned, but the flowers have usually caught the viewer's attention.

It is bright and sunny today. Have a great Sunday.
