If Opportunity Doesn't Knock,
Build a Door
I have always made my own opportunities when it comes to employment. I tried working the "conventional" jobs and they just weren't for me! I moved home at 25, started a bridal alterations business in the evenings and weekends, and during the week provided childcare. After 13 yrs of that, turned to teaching quilting and sewing which I still do and started a gardening business taking care of clients gardens. My fantasy is this shop where somehow the combination of flowers and fabric would meld together.
This piece is machine appliqued, embellished with silk ribbon embroidery. Many French knots!!
It's a piece that I had drafted a long time ago...Quotes challenge pushed me to finish....and build another door!
