This is my latest offering on the applique art front.
Inspired by my Mum and Dads house and pretty garden.
I made a little watercolour sketch to help me pick out the important features.
Plants on the patio.
Wisteria over the window.
Leaded windows and a suggestion of brickwork.
Stepping stones in the lawn and shrubs around the pond.
Finished just in time for Mums birthday!And luckily she loved it, she even shed a few tears.

I'm not surprised she shed a tear - what a perfectly lovely present! You'll be getting commissions from your Mum's friends when they see it!
Wow, that's incredible. :) You're so talented..!
What a wonderful present, she must have really loved it.

Hey Fi, I have been waiting patiently for the 'big reveal' and it was certainly worth it.
What a lovely, thoughtful gift for your mum. It's turned out really well. I love the wisteria and the plants in pots.
What are you going to do for your dad for Father's Day?.........
Have a great day,
Claire :}
I would have shed a tear too! What a very special gift you have given her ...and from a very special daughter!

You are amazing, I so love this and I bet your mum loved it to bits and beyond, I would shed a tear too if I was presented with such loveliness.

Just beautiful and such a lovely personal present to give.
I am sure she absolutely loved it! It's a real treasure - and no doubt hours of your time and lots of love went into the making of it. I have had fun with my latest picture but can't show it just yet. I used to make them as gifts and leaving pressies many, many years ago. It seems to be taking a while to get my skills back! Thanks for sharing your inspiring pics. x Jo
Ow I wish I was your mum I'd be delighted to recieve an "aplique" replica of my home. I've admired your work for a while and I love it, can I ask do you take commissions?? I'd love to have a go myself but it looks far too complicated and besides it's having all the right fabrics etc. Can I show you a piccy of my house? thanks Lucey x
How absolutely beautiful, a labour of love, no wonder she was thrilled. Did it take long to make?
What a simply gorgeous gift, no wonder your Mum was a little weepy.
