As always, I love to share my patterns, just pm me with information.

Couldn't decide which I liked best so .............. the first one is the best watercolor one! and the second is the best stained glass one!

Have you posted how you dye your fabric? My first attempt was rather sad---colors looked rather murky. Your fabric is fantastic.

Iris are easy to grow. All they need is a lot of sun and no wet feet. Treat yourself and plant one.
