Parts Department + Sunny window + a little squeal of delight= current Batik project

A favorite effect of mine...placing in a window and treating as stained glass...Flash off when taking this photo to have the seams show.

Flash on....I have left the sunflowers petals loose and caught the inside when stitiching the inner circle.  It looks like a petal is missing in this photo but just camera-shy...

Other flowers also have some texture and movement in that edges were not all sewn down.  Roxy is drooling as I get closer to giving her a new project to decorate :).

Since following blogs and following Victoria's lead of "making fabric", started with solid background squares and couldn't keep 'em...Dipped into some different fun ideas with scraps and the "Parts Department"....  This is the background square I created today for the bottow left corner sunflower.  Never thought I would like a background palette block more than the applique....

Love, Em
