As a former quilter, I was so excited to see the IC suggested by one of my favorite quilters- Bonnie (okstamper), and was inspired by this fabric.
I wanted a very special card for Lindsay, a young mommy-to-be, who was just diagnosed with Lymphoma. Please see Mothermark's thread for more info, and please PM her for Linday's address if you would like to send Lindsay a card.
When I saw this fabric, I went into my stash of treasured material, and adhered this sweet pattern onto a sheet of double sided adhesive and cut the squares with pinking shears. Once on the yellow paper, I stitched around the edges and thru the centers of each piece.
The House Mouse image was watercolored and the cup has green gems and a coat of Crystal Effects. Punched leaves and primas were added. The inside sentiment is from Thoughts and Prayers and reads "Praying for You" and I used one extra square of material to accent the wording.
Thanks for looking!
Edit- just checked Cindy's thread, check this out!

OMG! Pat this is THE most gorgeous card ever! How wonderful that this beauty is going to Lindsay. That fabric is so sweet, like a new little baby sweet...This is one that should be framed and hanging in Nevaeh's bedroom....its just absolutely precious!
I am so glad you were able to make this special! It warms my heart! Thank you so much!
I knew you would be here late so I saved you some cake. Now, lets hope the other teapotters didn't find my stash! Snort!

I can't believe you can sew...you are almost too goofy to be able to sew...does that mean that somebody actually could teach me to sew? Whoot! You get extra points for having 42,000 stitches on your card!
Pat, can you put 84 after MMTPT so it gets in the gallery?
