Inspiration: Quotation Embroidery
Image from TiLT Creations’ flickr stream I love a bit of quote embroidery. It started when I saw DoubleSpeak‘s delightful embroidered slips on Etsy (mine is orange and features the words “yours til Niagara falls”). But when I saw this I fell in love.

Two lucky winners will win a rather lovely set of 27 fat quarters, whilst another will win a $100 voucher to her lovely shop full of stunning fabric and luxury crafting goodies. Not bad eh?!

Inspiration: Craft blogs
