A discovery

The first Bauble was the result of one of those happy "what if?" moments. Needing a small baby gift, I made a little stuffed fabric ball in bright cottons, like this one.

Very cute, fast and easy. I made a couple more, just for fun.

Then I thought Wonder what else I could do with these?
So I tried a little experiment.

I made another ball in plain calico, and I sewed patches all over it, mostly browns and greens.

Hmm, now what? Embroidery, maybe?
We seem to have a woodsy theme going here, so how about some leaves and wildflowers?



Several days passed, and finally it was finished – I called it "Wildwoods".

I was pleased.
