One look at Amy Barickman’s latest book, Fabric Flowers and you will fall in love! This baby is jam-packed with little goodies to keep you inspired and reclaiming your creativity all night long! With each turn of page, I am drooling over the amazing photography and thinking of projects that now ‘need’ to be embellish with fabric flowers.
It is pure eye candy! But don’t just take my word for it, check out this quick video.
One flower that caught my eye is the Wool Rose. I love the thought of taking an old blazer and transforming it into something special, not to mention that these days I am drawn all things hand stitched.
As a special treat, one lucky member of our sewing circle will receive a copy of this book and goodies from Clover delivered right to their doorstep. Just leave a comment below letting me know what you would embellish with these flowers.
