Here are my puzzle pieces in process. I have 5 but will only send 4. The brown/burgunday one simply has the leaf motifs outline embroidered in silver and copper thread. If I use that fabric again, I will do it differently. The others are ready for finishing. I'm finding that part tedious and time-consuming. The embellishment part is the fun part!


This one is finished but I'm taking the buttonhole stitch off tonight and doing it over. I kept thinking it just didn't look the way I expected it would look and then when I started the piece below, I realized how I had done it wrong.


This one is started but I only got 2 sides done before I had to get to bed. I have 3 different fusable backings and tried 2 of them. I also put a fabric backing on that so it took me awhile to get through them and I think next time I can do a better job of it. I could not zigzag it as neatly as I hoped so I did as well as I could, just to secure the layers and now I'm using the buttonhole stitch to cover it and make the edges look more finished.

Here's another teapot bookmark that I sent to Alice Cantrell who has the free pdf notecard file on her website which features a teacup. The teapot pattern, in case you are new to it, is from Martha Ess's new book.
