I fig­ured I should show you all how I decided to use the Sewing Pat­tern Flower I cre­ated last week. This sim­ple photo holder will soon be sit­ting on a shelf in Terri’s apart­ment hold­ing a photo of her and Laren.

    What a beau­ti­ful project! And timely, too… I just bought 5 of those clothes­pins, from A.C.Moore’s dol­lar bin, want­ing to make photo hold­ers. I wasn’t sure how I wanted to dec­o­rate them, though, and this will be PERFECT! Thanks so much for all the con­tin­ued inspi­ra­tion, Lisa!
