Outcomes From Maria Thomas Workshop

As a would-be gardener this is my herbaceous border gardener's jacket....with a plea to help the bees and birds. Suffolk puffs with hand-dyed buttons and the pocket is a seed packet, appliqué birds, lazy daisy flowers and stamped bees. Medals were a challenge, and the little gold one actually reads "let it blossom" (the top to a bottle of Blossom Hill white Zinfandel now to be enjoyed). had to edge the jacket when fabric started to fray badly. Now thinking about another one....
