Having finished my 'tulips and forget-me-nots' wall hanging which I showed you in my last post, I decided that it needed a couple of extra little details just to finish it off.
I added a couple of extra machine-stitched details to both of the butterflies on the lower wings. It was a great way to use some of the special stitches offered by my sewing machine and I think they added something extra to the appliqué.
I also decided that the tulips would look to have more depth if I added some straight stitched edges to what I think of as the front petals. I am so pleased that I decided to add the extra details and I am looking forward to getting this hung up in the house now.
Since finishing the wall hanging I started a new project to make some little fabric boxes. These are to hold some Christmas treats as gifts for a couple of quilting friends. I can't wait to share them with the recipients later this week. (They will have been filled with chocolates by then!)
Wishing you a wonderful, creative week.... 😊 xx
Those flutter-byes are so cute, but I have to say that I love the little fabric boxes. They'll be a really special gift especially when filled with chocolate!
