One Flower Wednesday---Munchkin Land!

“ If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. ” ― Dalai Lama    Last week I showed you a couple of flowers that were missing petals while I waited for more fabric to complete them...........and I was so happy that the fabric was shipped quickly and I was able to get the flowers finished...   Here is the Lollipop guild....at least part of it.........the other two heads are on the next flower....lol Here is the rest of the Lollipop Guild and some of the Munchkin Houses behind them..... I also showed you a partial flower of the Munchkin Coroner holding the Death Certificate of the Wicked Witch of the West  last week and here is the rest of him.  Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of him before I sewed the flower to the other flowers: and here are both flowers sewn to the section with Dorothy's house...........The Oz Hanging is beginning to take shape!    To the right and upward next will come the Talking Tree Forest......and after that the Magic Poppy fields............ But before going there I am going to try to work on the left side of the hanging.........the Kansas side............here is a sneak peek of the next flower I'm working on.............I'll bet you can guess who or what that might be???   Before I say "Ta-Ta for now" I want to tell you all about a great Giveaway on Linda's Stray Stitches Blog..........she is giving away a $25 Gift Certificate to one of my favorite fabric places and one of my sponsors.......The Fat Quarter Shop! Just click above on Linda's Link or the link below....either will take you to the place you can enter the giveaway! Ok then, I will say Ta-Ta for now and see you next time.............

One Flower Wednesday---A Day late and a few petals short..........

“ I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes. ”  ― Ernest Hemingway    I have been working for days and days since yesterday (just seems like days and days....lol) trying to "catch up" on OFW since I was too busy with the State Bird Dresden last week to do my flower.   And with all that said I must admit that I am still not able to show you an entire flower!  I am at the point now with the Oz hanging that I am beginning to sew the flowers together and, unfortunately, I have discovered that some of the petals are sewn in the wrong direction and won't fit where I want them...........so I am not just sewing but unsewing too! Well now that my whining is done (yes, I would like cheese with my whine, please)...  here is what I have to show you today............The Lollipop Guild without all their heads.......lol........I have some more fabric coming so I can do the last petal.............  I covered a petal to give an idea what it will look like when I get the rest of the fabric...........  (....looks funny with the green lollipop kid's head coming out of the bushes....haha) and here is a sneak peek of the coroner............also waiting on more fabric to complete..................  I also sewed together several of the flowers and connecting petals for Dorothy's house after it landed on the Wicked Witch of the East................  the Coroner will stand next to the piece of fence....and the lollipop guild and Munchkin Land houses will be next to the Coroner........... If you haven't already checked out all the beautiful flowers growing in Karen's Garden at One Flower Wednesday....just click on any of the links on this post or in the side bar to go there!   Ok I have a project to do for a birthday present I have to have ready for the weekend so I'm off to do that........TaTa for now!
