just beautiful!! Many thanks for "walking us through this"...when I make one I hope it turns out as wonderful as yours.
Ah Betty this is beautiful! You are inspiring me to do something more with fabric and trims. And your journals (post above) are wonderful too. Thank you for sharing.
Thankyou for the comments. It was fun to do this and am happy you both liked it.
Gorgeous Betty! I might just give this a try and that says a lot for someone who is sewing-challenged lol!!
You are so generous to walk us all the way through this - I may yet learn to make some art when talented artists like yourself are so willing to share!
Thank you.
