I just looked around my house at some of the things I like, and scribbled something on the back of an envelope to start with. And before you say anything about an artist, no I am not - I have a very artistic and talented daughter. I am the crafty one in the family.

Blue and white porcelain is my favorite. I collect all I can from Japan and I have a couple blue and white plates I acquired in Australia as well.

Lesley,
That is going to be beautiful. I am smiling because when I was at my Mom's house (in SW Arizona), I took many photos of her collection of Mexican pottery and an old plate we had when I was a child.

Can't wait to see more pix!

The nice thing I like about needleturned applique is that I can sit down in a comfy chair, with my feet up, a cup of tea on the table beside me, chocolate on hand for times of crisis, and then just sew.

Day one of my floral basket.
