I haven't appliquéd in SO long I forgot how much I like the finished product! I opted for 2 different style butterflies to share the same space - I thought about adding some thread painting to the wings to add more color and texture but didn't want them to be too different from the others :). I also,thought about sending a second block but when I found the butterfly embroidery in the second photo I thought I would send that instead - maybe it could be used for the label on the back?
So who would I invite to dinner?? That s a tough one - I think Julia Child, Coco Chanel, Yotam Ottolenghi and Diane Rehm. I love to cook and have been a long time fan of Julia. recently I have heard a number of interviews/podcasts with Ottolenghi and his cooking sounds fabulous. As a clothes sewer in addition to quilter It would be amazing to meet Coco Chanel and I figured Diane Rehm from NPR could help keep the conversation going!
Beautiful butterflies! The pattern of the purple one and the trailing wings of the red one are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI am sure the pretty embroidery will be appreciated.
