Thanks for posting. I really love how you used horizontal lines in your piece. Makes me think I need to start thinking out of the box myself!

very nice. I have a book started with all fabric pages about 15 x 15, that I sew other fabrics to, add buttons, make fabric pictures, etc.... I just keep adding to it. Its not really a book yet, I will get to that some day. I want to make button holes and just add large metal rings to keep it together.

The stitches are so pretty. Is this quilting stitches or just fancy stitching on one layer of fabric?

I don't know how to quilt. We used all the fancy stitches our machines had. After that was done, then we went along each row of stitching and just did a running top stitch 1/4" away. The piece was in layers and I think there were four for the last part.
