Design Wall / {Sew} Modern Monday

Great to be able to show you my final McCall's challenge. Please vote daily through Nov. 8! I'm still loving the 3-d effect of the background alone and the hearts coming forward.
I have written about my creative process in a separate blog post.
Last week I got to attend a hands-on class by Linda V. Taylor at MQX-West in Portland, OR. Here is what I created based on what we learned. I used it as a real practice piece rather than trying to create something for show, but here it is!
Ireland!! Deadline extended to Nov. 1 for full-payment discount. Join me on a fabulous adventure in Ireland, June 5-15, 2012.

Thanks for stopping by....Thanks for voting!
