I recently participated in the Rainbow Picnic Sew Along hosted by Rachel at Stitched in Color. From the stash I pulled a Kona Cotton New Bright layer cake and a canvas print that I accidentally purchased years back, thinking it was quilting cotton when I ordered it.
Quilting is a doodle design with many different design elements merged together and is done in black thread.
Oh my, the backing, just delish! You can imagine my disappointment when I opened the package and it was canvas instead of quilting cotton! I'm so happy to use it up!
