LK "Love Blooms"....


This wonderful design has been in my stash
for quite some time and I thought it would
be perfect with some fabric in my stash.


LK "Love Blooms"
LK "Love Blooms"
Stitched on 28ct. linen w/DMC

The two came together to create my
exchange for Angela, my partner this round
in the LK Exchange.   Don't you just love this
funky fabric...I just couldn't resist using it. 

Unfortunately, the print was a little larger
than I realized so my small dainty pillow soon
grew to a throw size pillow!  I really wanted to
show the flowers so I had to comprimise
form for fashion. 

Hopefully Angela won't mind and can find
an appropriate place for it.

As always...thanks for visiting my little
piece of the stitching universe.

happy stitching...

    I really love it Karen, it's perfect! The fabric is fun and quirky which is what LK is all about to me :) I put it up on my wall unit beside the pillow from Mouse and they look great together. Thank you again :)
