Some time ago, I bought my first copy of Sew Somerset (Summer 2010) which I thought was just fabulous. Loads of projects I wanted to try. So I've been raiding my local upholstery shop for their grab bags. There was a particular project by Donna Downey in there that I thought I already had the pieces for and after a few weeks of playing I've finally come up with this hanging. It's about 23 x 23 cm (or 9 inches in old money). You can enlarge the image for a closer view.

Oh Carol - this is gorgeous - I might invest in that magazine if you recommend it.
I hate trying to make inches with a passion - because I find it so hard stamping adn tiny bits of paper - but material - wow - I could cut out material easily and I love the fact that they really look a work of art on the canvas - brilliant - gorgeous
Hi Carol, I can see this was a labour of love. Its so beautiful, what a multi talented lady you are. Couldn't resist enlarging it for a closer look and Wow, its definitely gorgeous. Annette x
Oh wow, Carol, that's so gorgeous and, if I may dare to say, much more scrumptious than the ones in the mag.
This is so pretty Carol and a lovely combination of crafting and needlework. I love the way you have put all the bits and pieces together - that's the clever bit.
I love this missus, it appeals to the magpie me...lots of lovely detail and textures...love the glittery leaf! x:)
Lovely, very effective using stitched squares, each one a piece of art, very creative. Tracy Evans x

This is great Carol, so different, I take it you like sewing then
WOW Carol, that is beautiful. So much work must have gone into it. Love it, x
This is absolutely stunning Carol. I used to sew a lot years ago but sort of 'fell out' with it. I think something like this could just rekindle my interest,Lol!
Something a quarter as good as yours I would think of as an achievement!

I loved that project that Donna Downey did in Sew Somerset too. But I have to say your version is just as spectatular. You did an amazing job.
gorgeous! Love the soft colours and love all the texture of the fabric! Hugs Juls
This is incredible. Time intensive but worth all that effort. Really special. Lynne x
Hi Carol.
