Made with fabric that I tried many techniques on and then added all sorts of embellishments and stitching.

In honor of a book I read this spring entitled Happy For No Reason by Marci Shimoff.

I AM happy for no reason. :)

If I can stop one Heart from breaking

I shall not live in vain

If I can ease one life the Aching

Or cool one Pain

Or help one fainting Robin Unto his Nest again

I shall not live in Vain.”

~ Emily Dickinson ~

I'm working on this little quilt... still wondering how to finish it up.

Free motion stitching from sketch, inspired by photo...maybe a pillow? Oh yes, Seth's birthday!

He love's it...Happy Birthday!

Something new again... tried the free motion stitching for the first time, although I used the regular foot in my machine so I had to turn the fabric around all the time.

koti (finnish) = home

When I found this fabric I feel in love with its soft colors and vintage feel. I used free motion stitching to enhance the design. I then sewed on pretty glass myuki beads on the top. I love the rouching on the side. I think it adds some thing different and feminine to a classic design.

To see the work in progress visit my blog cmguajardo.blogspot.com/2007/01/botticelli-fabric-post-ca... .

This is 4.25 x 6", I painted and stitched a section of a Boticelli fresco. Giovanna Paying Homage to Venus and the Three Graces.

lots of scraps used up on the backing!
