Yet more quiltlets

This one for Jody for her birthday - hint: they're supposed to be roses:
This one for Nona's going-away prezzie:

A little too much contrast on this photo, but it's a white, wholecloth with trapunto, about 12x12 inches. When Nona found out I quilted, she piped up, hey I've always wanted a trapunto purse! Well, it's not a purse, but it's trapunto. Had to get some technique books from the library for this project:

I love my quiltlet Sam! The roses with the stripe border is so me! I especially like the beading on the roses. (hard to see in the picture but beautiful in RL)

Double WOW!!! The trapunto is absolutely beautiful. I have seen the techinque demonstrated on quilt shows, but I am impressed with your quiltlet.
