 I was very excited about this card when I designed it, but I found out it's got a lot of little pieces :-) Good thing I have a helper these days, sorry April! :-) Also, I made one of my dumber mistakes when I was making this...I had cut out a stack of 8 backgrounds at once, then took one and put it on top of my batting and interfacing to make the card. Then I grabbed the wrong stack, fused the leaves to the top layer, and STITCHED through all of the layers on all three leaves before I noticed...oh boy...
I may try to make a kit for it, or a wall quilt based on it, but I'm afraid the free motion stitching might scare people off. It's not very difficult stitching, mostly scribbling, but I know that still makes some people nervous :-) What do you think?
