Random words

I still think words would be good on a Bauble, if only I could figure out how to get them there. My first attempt was on Fiesta, not very successful :-(
This time I tried printing text on fabric, a process I'd used before. You just iron freezer paper onto the back of the fabric, feed it through the printer, then iron to set the ink.

Then I cut out the quote, in two parts, and appliqued it on. I added hearts and flowers, also appliqued and embroidered. Finally I echo 'quilted' it all over.

It's not a great success, the proportions are out of whack, somehow. The text should have been smaller. Another learning experience, I guess (sigh)
