Lotus Flower Wall hanging

I started this  while I was in Flagstaff and finished it up today. I used a combination of fabric I have been holding onto and one only satin pillow case. I added some beads to a few of the flowers. I like doing these smaller projects just as much a larger ones. I like something I can do in a day.
This picture is before I sewed on the flowers.










Below is one of the lotus flowers. I cut them out free hand using a rotarty cutter. I also used some spray adhesive but I am not that impressed with it as of yet but I could be using it incorrectly.



This shows the lotus flowers quilted. I did add some embellishment with beads to the base of a few of the flowers but it is hard to see it in the photo.
         

Here is it all finished. I used the satin pillow case as
the binding. It has a rough edge...I am curious to see
how it frays with age.








New craft Space

Andy and I moved into a new rental in Concord California on the 16th of December. The house is great and I get my own craft room. Here are a few pictures.
