3D Plants. These have all been listed in Embroidery but I was asked to post them in Projects. Sorry for doubling up.
WOW! I have just finished Splendid Fairy-wren Collage from Embroidery Library. I have someone ask if I could put a Wren on a towel top. It took me all afternoon with 42 colour changes, but I am happy with it. Don't think I will be doing it too often.

I am posting this a little early as we all become busy towards Christmas Day. May I take this opportunity to Wish you all the very Best Wishes over the Festive Season and May all your wishes come true in 2015. Thank you all who have made my sad days happi
