I'll admit I overlook brown. I loved today's challenge to make brown the focus. I decided to only pair my brown with black and white. I used an old SU set and black stazon and a white prisma colored pencil. I zigzag stitched with my sewing machine. I hand sewed the edges and added a gingham ribbon and teacup charm and wire. I made this for my sister in law. She loves chickens and everything country. She lost her husband a year ago last November. I just wanted her to know that I was thinking of her as this painful anniversary approaches.
