I have been away for a few weeks' holiday to sunny Queensland and feel refreshed and keen to get back to joining in with the challenges.
The CAS challenge this week was to use fabric - I have SO much fabric and this particular piece is in my son's quilt. I also chose this because I wanted to honour Kathleen Lammie, who is the Queen this week - I love her work and she always leaves such beautiful and positive comments. Kathleen's card I chose was amazing and, as you can see, mine is nothing like it excepting I thought my fabric had a similar look (stretching it, I know!!) -

Yes, Kathleen, the Queen, does leave lovely comments and you have shown her great tribute today with this wonderful work rich in detail and texture. Very nice.

Sue, a charming card that has the warmth and feeling of an old quilt. Love your colors...the beige and blue is an awesome combination. The little buttons are SO cute! Great card!
