Something a little different...

Quilting is all done on the baby quilt... binding still to be done, but I need something to just chill with tonight...
I pulled out a couple of leaf prints I made some time ago... think I might have a play with these two and get my free motion embroidery groove goin again... Good practice pieces..

Here are a couple more pieces I played with last time I needed to get my groove on...

I call this piece my "Tree Of Life"... It's raw edge appliqued and free motion embroidered with various threads... heavily stabilised as it is not quilted...

This piece is pure "doodling" with variegated embroidery thread...
The background I painted using setacolour fabric paints... it is also quilted... good fun...
Last, but not least, this little piece... I call... "Tulip"... heh heh... It is a raw edge reverse appliqued piece... heavily stabilised with variegated threads used again... I love the rough edge finish on this...
This one might make it into a frame on one of my walls I think...
It just goes to show.... never, ever discard anything willy nilly... you may just fall in love with it later on in life... sometimes things happen like that!! I'll let you know how I get on... Lx
