Miniature Bonham Beauty...Ta Dah!

It's finished...my miniature version of the Bonham Beauty design is ready for the 2014 Yesterday & Today special issue. I enjoyed all the hand work, but found out that when I'm under a deadline, it takes some of the meditative quality out of my stitching time. Still, it was a fun project. Here's a detail of the quilting:

Cross this one off the list. On to bigger, if not necessarily better, things!

More Bonham Beauty Bits

I'm back to working on the tiny appliqué ovals for the mini Bonham Beauty. I thought I'd try to show you just how tiny they really are...looks like about 3/8" x 5/8". More miniature fun!

Mini Obsession

When I was trying to fall asleep last night, the only thing that got me to relax was thinking of making a mini version of the Union Jack block I drafted yesterday. The Wikipedia image of the flag was so stinkin' cute, it just kept popping up in my mind. "I could do that. I could foundation-piece it. But what about the tiny stripes? Would it really work?" I drifted off to images of pages full of tiny flag foundations. And...the answer is, yes, it really did work! And it was obsessive, miniature fun. Now I think I have it out of my system and can go back to working on "real" projects. But isn't it adorable? The flag finished about 2" x 4".
