Hibiscus/leaves 10″ across.   

I have been working on a couple projects for for quilt market.  The Hibiscus will hopefully be part of a coat if I can get myself to finish it.   The fabric is a Robert Kaufman Cotton/Silk blend.  It is lusious.  I love making hibiscus.   I am using Presenci/Finca brand Perle Cotton #16.  It is such a fine thin Perle cotton that it goes through the top of the machine, using a denim/topstitch needle.  Both the Hibiscus and the Presencia Logo quilt began with a diagram then all the stitching was done using straight stitching or freemotion stitching, not a embroidery machine.   The Egyptian Lady is approximately 18″ in height
