Wow your stain glass iris is beautiful. You are very talented to have drawn your own. Debcavan also uses yarn and made a beautiful rose. Both of you are very talented. Hope to make one someday. Iris looks easier than the rose Going to bookmark this for when I come across a beautiful iris like yours.

I love your pattern and your hand dyed fabric! Both are stunning pieces!

I have had the background fabric for a year now and loved it when I dyed it. The second is just a stained glass version, really simple. I haven't quilted it yet. As always, I love to share my patterns, just pm me with information.

I used Red Heart worsted weight. Kind of stretch it as you go along and don't let it roll. Also zig zag with a smaller stitch between.

Love the idea of yarn as I can zig zag and not really have to be satin stitching or anything.
Enjoy!
