I procrastinated as long as I could, held my breath and cut! Thank you so much Sarah Liz for your kind words! I thoroughly enjoyed learning about gum tree and their blossoms. Even created a special Pinterest board to organize the information for myself. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-39755952622679105862016-04-19T15:30:51.312-04:002016-04-19T15:30:51.312-04:00It has been such fun Katharina to exchange gifts internationally!

It all reminds me of that Burda bird dress you made a few years ago. I&#39;m going to try to do the facings like you did on that one for a smoother look. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-54035895050157434852016-04-19T15:28:41.146-04:002016-04-19T15:28:41.146-04:00Thank you so much!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-51048080623360280772016-04-19T15:28:26.707-04:002016-04-19T15:28:26.707-04:00Eating is a common language, is it not?! I was really worried about that, so it was nice to not have an &#39;up&#39; or a &#39;down&#39;. Made it all a little easier to place. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-55138558717589095532016-04-19T15:27:37.213-04:002016-04-19T15:27:37.213-04:00Thank you so much Kathy!!! Oh yes! I learned lots about Gum Blossom Trees! They are so lovely in a wild, unkept sort of way. Love them! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-49091898782167970162016-04-19T15:26:43.065-04:002016-04-19T15:26:43.065-04:00Hopefully the blossoms will be okay where placed.... and I bet you would&#39;ve got all that thought out at the beginning of your project.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-78929006208325185632016-04-19T15:25:27.451-04:002016-04-19T15:25:27.451-04:00Thank you so much Mari! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-39274315892916152932016-04-19T02:24:34.004-04:002016-04-19T02:24:34.004-04:00Oh my gosh, I would be so uptight cutting such a piece of fabric with such a sentimental journey attached to it. And just wonderful you took the trouble to work out how gum leaves grow - they are quite untidy trees in a way! The green greys are very representative of the foliage - gum trees tend to be a sort of bluey-greeny gray, and you do like those colours. This is going to look lovely. Fingers crossed all the way for you.sarahlizsewstyle.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-2609530651570939412016-04-17T11:35:06.195-04:002016-04-17T11:35:06.195-04:00It is so nice to hear about you two exchanging gifts, putting so much thought into them! I really liked the dress Carolyn made from the fabric you sent to her and I&#39;m excited to see your finished dress, I&#39;m sure it will turn out beautiful! :)Fröbelinahttp://www.froebelina.de/en[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-55922682283161719752016-04-17T07:27:19.772-04:002016-04-17T07:27:19.772-04:00Oooh, it&#39;s going to look gorgeous Lisa! I&#39;m so glad you picked that design for the fabric, I have to confess I pictured you in that style for it and I think it will be perfect for you :) I can&#39;t wait to see you in it!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-42716737850309993282016-04-17T03:31:26.333-04:002016-04-17T03:31:26.333-04:00I can see your predicament. Placing those blossoms just right must have been nail biting stuff, but it looks as if you have got it sorted out. I look forward to seeing the finished item.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17830815374262746519[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-56310586808405648332016-04-17T00:43:09.626-04:002016-04-17T00:43:09.626-04:00It&#39;s interesting to know what the other side of the world eats :) <br />I opened up the fabric photo to see it better. It&#39;s a beauitiful print and it&#39;s perfect for a special ocassion. I also often wonder which way is up on floral prints :) opportunityknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117079481971682582[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-81179652922440853162016-04-16T01:25:09.179-04:002016-04-16T01:25:09.179-04:00Such a lovely dainty fabric pattern deserves all the care and angst you have expended so far. If the dress is half as pretty as your bird sheath you will have succeeded beautifully. Also, now you probably know more about gum blossoms than this native born Aussie :) Look forward to seeing the finished dress.

How clever of you to consider the placements of blossoms. I probably wouldn&#39;t have thought of that before cutting into the fabric!Lovenickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043206559384867635[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-31104496852538547712016-04-15T18:19:25.826-04:002016-04-15T18:19:25.826-04:00Lisa ...
