Lastly, I am on my way to Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday #84:http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...d.php?t=483214. We have been challenged by Matilda D. Munn (aka Aquilta The Hun# hee to put our money where our teapots are by showing our softer side and showing our quilting skills. I showed mine by HAND stitching. No modern easy sewing machine for me, a challenge is a challenge and I showed Matilda by doing it the old fashioned way! So there. Hee. Also this card will be sent to Lindsay.

There are times hand-stitching is easier than getting the machine out. This certainly looks great - a sweet orchard scene. You'll have to bring out the apple version in autumn :D.

What a wonderful world of whimsy Miss LL. I love the colors and the fantastic stitching on your hill as well as the dimension you've added by popping up those treetops. What a delightful interest those rounded corners add too.

Beautifully done, Lisa! I love the rounded edges on the top. Your trees are so sweet and cheerful. What a fun set that is. Your stitching is fab, as always. This was no challenge for you! haha You do that all the time, and do it well!

Hand stitching - I'm impressed! My Home Ec teacher would have held this up to the entire class as an example of the way it was supposed to look! Cute image, great papers and I LOVE the rounded corners on the top!
