A friend, Cora Mae, gave me some Shibori fabrics she had dyed. I decided to use three cuts from the beautiful fabrics for today's pieces.

#24 - The first picture is the cut piece of fabric:

I saw a flower in this image. I used a white POSCA paint pen to lighten the "petals." Then I added extensive machine stitching. I cropped the piece before adding the blanket stitch around the edges.

#25 - the cut fabric:

This time I envisioned a landscape. First, I fused on a couple extra pieces of fabric near the bottom of the image. Again, I used extensive machine stitching.

#26 - I stared at this next fabric for a long time.

In the end, I decided I couldn't really improve on the design. (It's rotated a quarter turn in the next image.) Like the others, this fabric was mounted on stiff interfacing. After cropping, I added the blanket stitch around the edges, and called it good enough!
