Punching a flower with Australian yarn ...



I'm a very lucky person: not only that I won a beautiful crocheted cushion as a giveaway on Elizabeth's blog today, last week - returning from Sara - I received a gorgeous parcel with all sorts of textile goodies from Paula in Australia ...

Today I decided to use some of the yarns Paula sent me for an embellished flower, which I punched to my favourite background (linen on woolen cloth) and then stitched with free machine embroidery. The 'frame' is also one of Paula's beautiful yarns, fastened with a straight machine stitch.

(I thought Spring would finally come now - instead it started snowing some hours ago, it's windy, dark and rotten cold ... I'm getting impatient.)

Thank you Endy, thank you Paula!

I guess we could regard textile ideas as a kind of boomerangs ... or like I wrote earlier - as a relay race with lots of winners.
