The Bloggerette Sorority...

As requested by our gracious hostess,
Karen of Some Days Are Diamonds,
I'm posting early for our Sorority "Rush" Event.

Karen provided us with this sweet image, and challenged all
of the sorority sisters to create something special using it.
(You can click on any of the photos to enlarge them.)

I had so much fun making this in the studio...
a cushion with "The Girls" front and center.
(You're not surprised, are you?)

I changed the image to sepia-tone and printed it on silk fabric.
Then, I sewed it to the fabric for the front of my cushion,
and hand embroidered each of the flowers and hair treatments
on each of the girls. I especially love the little lace bow in
the hair of the second sweetie from the left.

When I had completed the embroidery, I added vintage lace trim
and sewed in a muslin ruffle. I finished the cushion with vintage
buttons and a muslin and silk flower to add a little flair.
This cushion measures approx. 12" x 17", including the ruffle.

Thanks, Karen, for the challenge. I really had fun with it.
I hope you'll visit Karen's blog and the other Sorority Sisters!
