May's Postcard
Hope you all are doing well Heather!
I mailed my May postcard to Ann early since I was leaving Mom's and heading to Kansas to meet Debbie at a machine quilting show. I was sure it would get bent up in my suitcase if I tried to bring it home.
This was hand stitched with perle cotton using just the lazy daisy stitch. The flower centers are buttons and the butterfly is a small charm. I got too close to the bottom so my leaves are a bit small on the one flower but I'll definitely make more flowers using this technique - it was lots of fun to make.
Speaking of the quilt show - Debbie won a 2nd place ribbon in the Theme category beating out several big name quilters. It was quite exciting!
