A Last Minute Gift

I'm very happy about this little dragonfly pin, because I made myself finish it before going to bed! It's a present for one of my daughter's best friends (Hi Sandra!) and it had to be ready Friday morning before school. Okay, so what if I went to bed at 2 am and so what if I'll need an extra cup of coffee to keep me propped up today... it was worth it! After all, 15th birthdays only come once, and anything and everything is possible at 15. I would have beaded the dragonfly's wings too, but it was late and I couldn't find my glasses, so I made some wings out of Tyvek and Angelina fibers. It came out really cute so I think I'll make more! But maybe not after midnight next time...

Have just found your blogsite and I love that you are
1. Creative
2. Creative with textiles and fibres
3. In France (hopefully you are happy about that too)
4. Sharing your creativity
I am a latent Franco-phile and paid my first visit to Paris and Burgundy this past May. One of my goals was to collect a small transportable embroidery project from each place we visited as a momento but sadly I only came across 2 embroidery shops in the whole of Europe and only managed to collect 2 (pretty, but rather sad) little kits. Quilting was more visible but I am not a quilter so I was terribly disappointed, considering the wealth and history of European embroidery and art. I wondered if embroidery and textile art are alive and well in the banlieu's but not in the more touristy areas?

Great pin! I found your blog through a link on the quiltart list. I need to add more fiber stuff to my blog.
You do some beautiful work!
