A garden for 'Blue Lace Cottage'

My little 'Blue Lace cottage' has been away for a week on exhibit with all the other little houses made by the ladies of Fife branch of the Embroiders Guild.
before it went I completed the base

I had no real idea of how I wanted the finished piece to look so I just had fun,

  cut out fabric added and stitched some by hand
some machined as I went along.

Then I got out the fabric paints and just explored

old lace, new life....

little garden.
