Looking at the Front and Back

I am counting the days down until the end of the school year, 32 days left to go and then I can relax and sew, sew, sew!

 

I am learning to look at the back of the material as well as the front of the material.  I think I will use the back of the material for the main part of the stem and the right side of the material for the shading.

I am trying to decide what to use for the petals.

 

 

I am audtioning different shades of red for the petals.

 

 

I have finally narrowed it down to three different fabrics.

 

 

I think there is good contrast between the stem and the background. 

 

 

I think I am off to a good start.

 

 

This is another reason I love traveling west by car.

 

 

We were heading north to Denver on a trip and decided to go through Colorado Springs and stopped by the Garden of the Gods.

 

 

The rock formations are awesome!
