This challenge was presented to the StichMAP group back in Nov 2010 but I just did it this past week. You take a few simple supplies and turn them into magic

I sorta belong to a group called StitchMap on yahoo. It's a Student/Mentor needle arts group. I say sorta because I don't have much time to devote to it. The list mama lives here in Colorado Springs and when she came by to deliver a prize I had won for my nominal participation last year she encouraged me to try the January challenge...making a brooch.

We signed up and got installment lessons. After you completed each lesson you uploaded a picture into a special folder and notified the coordinator who emailed you the next step. Here's my process and finished piece.

Very addicting. I'm making a smaller round one now.

The sheer fabric was supposed to be a part of the finished design bit I kinda had an incident with glue when I was putting it all together resultinging in having to trim it off . Whoops my bad.

I got to meet a new friend from the Yahoo StitchMAP (a mentor and apprentice program) group. Shari and her family were absolutely delightful and Shari is full of information that should benefit me in my crazy quilt business. I am blessed to live in this community! (Yeah like I didn't know that already!)
