Mimi Sue's Cottage

A home is much more than a house built of lumber, brick, or stone. A home is made of love, sacrifice, and respect. We are responsible for the homes we build. We must build wisely, for eternity is not a short voyage. There will be calm and wind, sunlight and shadows, joy and sorrow. But if we really try, our home can be a bit of heaven here on earth.

Black Eyed Susans

I'm completely addicted to wool applique. I wanted to make a little late summer project for the front door. This is what I came up with. This is where I got my inspiration.



They're growing right by the front porch.

Did you stuff it or is it just the way the picture was taken? It is really cute and good job coming up with the pattern.
