What Inspires You?


While rummaging through a box of indispensable stuff/junk, I discovered this card which my brother sent to me several years ago.  I noticed the simplicity of the pattern and how appealing it was.  Thinking to see if I could freehand draw this with my machine, I gave it a go.

  

You can see below I did freemotion stitch the bottles and stem.  I used french knots for the seeds of the flower.  I placed a sheer to the right and stitched.  I had a bit of trouble with my tension as you can see, however I like the way this turned out.  I placed it on card stock and it is now ready to be sent to my brother.  :)I am posting this on OTWF.  Check out others inspirations!

    Stopped by from Nina Marie's. This is a lovely interpretation and I really like the yellow lines to the left. This would make a beautiful large piece as well.
    best, nadia

    What a simple and elegant image, done beautifully with your stitching. I'm drawn to images of natured, and this is a lovely example of that!

    So glad I found Nina Marie and in turn found these other talented ladies. Love your card to quilt art. Inspiration is everywhere and to really "see" what is around you is a talent.

    Thanks all for your comments. Right now I a large amount of inspiration stored, but no time to let it out and I'm sure I am not the only one in this position!
