a sweet sew illustrated card

I am starting out the year slowly with a easy little project:

a sew illustrated card.

I have really enjoyed doing a lot of sew illustrated projects over the last 2 years, like the pincushions

the baskets

and the many mug rugs....


This year, I received this book from Minki Kim for Christmas:

 more inspirations and more little sewing!

I sewed these little flowers on linen with purple thread (lighter than black)

and a mix of print, so little fabric is needed!

The finish appliqued is then machine stitched it to a watercolor card

with hand quilting thread and a large needle

(that I reserved for sewing on paper)

The perfect happy first project of the year! 

Happy sewing!
