Absolutely wonderful and so fun to look at! I like your piece so much better than the first one featured in the book (your inspiration piece);Your choice of fabrics is far better than the original, since you give the horsies more contrast. My dtr-in-law is a horse lover ...... used to take riding lessons and did her share of competition, etc. ...... I may need to purchase the book and make this for her. I love doing applique and embellishing with buttons, yarns, etc. Thanks for posting this
