Too much going on.

I know some of the fabrics come from far away and I wonder if they would be amazed to see where the fabric they made is and what I am making with it? lol!<br />I have finally got all the pieces of fabric pinned down and I just have to stitch all the pieces in place. Will share soon...<br />Thank you <3<br />Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759831735033471810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456318398282222750.post-63265110764410941682012-08-18T15:24:14.965-07:002012-08-18T15:24:14.965-07:00This is unbelievable, Marie, and so beautiful !

I decided I would cover the picture/stains with fabric gifted to me from far away.<br />I am having fun with it.
