Little Gems

The central portion was intended for fabric postcards - little snippets stitched onto a bit of pin-striped fabric. I couldn't resist buying a fat quarter of the measuring-tape fabric.
This crazy-patch was covered over with a layer of sheer, and cut back on the dark red shapes. And some lines of zigzag added here and there -
"Pond life" was pieced over papers and includes a lot of embroidered weed in between the bigger stems growing from the bottom of the murky pond -
Eventually these will appear on the Little Gems website - first they need labels. Why are the labels so onerous - they take forever to get around to, but don't actually take long once you do get round to them....

The three pieces are extraordinary but my favorite is the bottom one. Love the colors and the way it sways.
