A Tussie Mussie Sunday

This past Sunday I played with the making of tussie mussies.  I had read several on-line tutorials on how to make tussie mussies and kinda played around with them.  First I started off with circles.




I cut circles out of poster board and fabric.  I glued the fabric to the poster board and started following several directions.  I hit upon one that really worked for me.



Well I did modify it a little.  Everyone should know by now I usually make a pattern my own!


And here is the finished product:




Well what do y'all think?  All anyone has to do is remember the bigger the circle the bigger the tussie mussie!

Now for the fun of my post.  I am going to have a drawing for these exp. tussie mussies.  Two lucky people will get one of these.  All you have to do is leave a comment on this post.  Don't forget I will need your address to send the prize on.  So if you would contact me with a way to get in touch with you I will be able to send your prize on.  My email address is glynpg@yahoo.com .
