Pattern Description:

Fell in love with the turquoise fabrics I found... Wanted to create something pretty and Spring-y... It's been a long winter!

I absolutely love the look of the appliqued white flowers and their fresh green stems and leaves set against the turquoise and pinks in the patchwork background. And the bee with his hand embroidered trail!
