Summer Bouquet

Many times, when i find a precious cotton print that i really love, i save it for a quilt... i figure it will last for much longer. But this time i couldn't resist making up this lovely fabric into a cool sleeveless shell for the summer. And of course, in my usual way, to embellish it with a bit of embroidery.


Brilliant red satin ribbon flowers with orange french knot centers, with a sprinkling of focal floral beads on some of the pattern segments. You can see an unworked segment at upper right.
