A friend asked me to make an embroidery design based on a painting used for an invitation. A Dutch artist made it especially for a birthday party invitation for a friend. I got his permission to use parts of the design - and I used two of the larger flowers. The booklet has blanc pages so the guests can write wishes, add drawings or whatever.
Loved making the cream coloured (linen) cover .

Thanks toogie, I am in awe of your quilts and appreciate your comments as I know you love perfection and as we both know that's always just beyond our reach.
My friend asked me for an extra 10 'normal' ones for her gift drawer - fortunately no hurry.

Thank you. It stitched out well. Largests problem was getting the needle threaded with these old eyes (no needle threader on my machine). I never understood why my mum used to ask me to do that for her - now I know :)
