Before Christmas I took a class from http://www.joggles.com/ on using Tyvek and did the above pieces. I didn't realize that I'd scanned the small quilt before I sewed the binding.I've been experimenting some more.
This time I tried flowers but feel that leaves seem more natural for the destructured look. Here is a detail.
Then I printed a photo of a flower in our garden on Tyvek and machined it to felt. I barely hit the iron to it(with parchment paper over it to protect the iron), and this is what happened. I am pleased with this one and have another flower photo ready to stitch.

Oh! This last one (large flower) is stunning! I have been playing with Tyvek too, but am almost afraid of it (the process, that is). Perhaps I'd best take that Joggles class!
That flower is a stunner, Sandy. I like all of them, but that one really stands out.
