Didn’t you love Kelly Fletcher’s series of Jacobean leaves? Well, she’s back with a new series she’s calling Bloomin’ Marvelous. She says,

Each design will fit neatly into a 4×4″ square, or about 10×10cm. So the plan is to end up with a stack of embroidered squares to make up into… something…As for how many blocks, well, that depends on how many ideas pop into my head. I’m aiming for somewhere between 12 and 24.

Get the first free design from Kelly’s blog, materialistic.
