Inspired by Joanna, the creator of this wonderful heart, I made this flower on the weekend (using a technique I learnt at a Julie Arkell workshop). I thought Joanna's combination of pale blue floral and red and white ticking was perfect! The petals are made of my two favourite fabrics - the blue floral is a relatively new fabric from Quilt Gate, and the red and white patterned fabric is from a shirt I made just over twenty (!!!!!) years ago when I was still in high school. Sadly, that much-loved shirt is now just a bit too worn to wear.
Images by me.
beautiful. I love the back of it too, so gorgeous. the stripes are sublime in the design.

You make the most wonderful flowers. Thank you again for my lovely bloom! And what a wonderful way to preserve such a special shirt.
Oooh and I did try the sneakers on at Liberty yesterday, but sadly my foot is between sizes. Sigh.

Thanks Kristina! I am so glad you like your flower :) Sorry to hear the Liberty/Nike sizing was no good for you - I really really really hope my foot is not between sizes too. That's the danger I guess, of buying clothes and shoes online... Fingers crossed!
