I finally completed this quilt! Some of you may remember me working on this back at Christmas. I love the colors in this quilt and wanted to experiment with bringing the design "outside of the lines" so I added two more butterflies on the border lace.

Garden Girls Completely Complete!
My "Garden Girl" series is complete and I'm pleased to announce that they are now available in my new online Etsy shop!
Each is signed on the back and numbered according to the order in which I stitched them. And of course, each has my signature cat embroidered on it.
More photos of my finished work coming very soon!

Perforated Paper Embroidery
I just read an interesting article on Perforated Paper Embroidery over at Victoriana Magazine online.
I wasn't at all aware that Perforated Paper goes back to the 1800's so I found this quite facinating.
Yes, I've done cross stitch and beading on the paper as it's still available today but I don't care for doing it since it's an "in hand" project. I prefer to hold a hoop.
Still, if you have a moment, check it out. There are some lovely examples of Victorian pieces to see!

My Next Block
Can anyone guess the theme for this one? I should have time to work on this later today.
I've sewn up the Garden Girls, made one of the pansy pieces into a doorknocker and am sewing the other two pansy pieces into handbags.
Photos coming very soon!
