Marthie, I am so very sorry - is there something I can do - to help you?

Remember seeing them a while ago and don't know where if it was the web or TV. It's going to be fun watching what project they come up with next.

Lucy, isn't that wonderful - to get a new idea? You are very welcome.

I love the mannequin pincushion. The felt flowers are Cute, but not a new idea - we've seen them as embroidered 3D flowers, but they look beautiful!
Thanks for mentioning that site!

Thank you Martine. Oh 3D flowers have been around a long while and I know this is just another technique for working with them from each of the sister's.

Well, I know I am going to spend some time at this site!! I love the felt flowers and the mannequin pincushion! Can't wait to check out everything here. Thank you for sharing and how exciting it must have been to actually visit their shop - I am envious!!! Hugs, Laura*

Hi Shirlene,
I write in French because I'm not sure that machine translation is more understandable to you, which is the case for decryption from English to French. If you prefer I can bring before writing.

Lidia, thank you, too.

Here are the pictures and the direct link - go make some lovely flowers and decorate your home.

I actually saw the pillows today in person - and they are lovely - twee (Terri) and I went to Logan today to the 'My Friends Quilting Shoppe' for our monthly 'Bee Z Stitchers' embroidery gathering. This is one very nice quilt store - the idea's are on every inch of this shop. Yummy fabric and the staff was so very friendly and informative. We had so much fun. Hehehe!
