Janny's theme for the fabric page was Vintage and this is the page that I made for her.
The background fabric is a soft dusty pink colour and I collaged antique laces and a cream satin heart shaped fabric embellishment and buttons as well.
I also added running stitches to accentuate the heart and blanket stitched around the border.
This is the page that I received came from Ati in Norway.
My theme is Butterflies and Ati has worked a georgeous big butterfly in cross stitch in the centre and surrounded it with Crazy Patchwork and tiny metallic butterflies and beautiful embroidery stitching.
I am sorry but the photo does not do this page justice but at least you get the idea.
Thank you Ati for a great page.

Oh, Doreen....you have captured vintage...I can almost smell the faint perfume that comes from a grandmother's drawer.
Both pages are so lovely and great interpretations of the theme.
I love your page Doreen - it is really beautiful. The one you received is lovely too. We have the same storage problems by the sound of it. I am trying to gradually get rid of cardboard boxes and use clear plastic which I can see into!
Your vintage piece evokes memories of gentler times. I love everything about it. The flowers on the heart are so beautiful and of course I love the lace.
love the pansies on the vintage page, and Ati's page is lovely.
Both pages are gorgeous and certainly 'fit' the theme beautifully. I don't think I could manage to pick a favourite between the two, although I do love pansies (they are such a happy-looking flower).
Both really are gorgeous but I adore creamy colours and monotone quilts and your quilt page is just delectable!
Oh Doreen - your vintage page is absolutely beautiful. I enlarged it to have a closer look - the detail on it is just wonderful. Love your page from Ati too - the butterfly looks really gorgeous - lucky you!
