For the sake of argument Amy's are made on stripping down already made fabric flowers; where as Jane uses floral wire. And really everyone doesn't sew, so why would they even look up AB's site! Very pretty thank you for sharing and teaching us something new! oh Jane ignore those negative ninnies your leaves are fabulous .

I follow your blog every day!! Jane, I love the floral wire wrapping and your use of damaged quilts. So nice to find a use for old quilts, and so special to share that Idea with crafters. I know when i came up with my leaf pattern for Amy it was out of a brainstorm session of finding non-traditional uses for fabric for home decor use, i found an antique "society silk" cocktail napkin that was an embroidered leaf, and I thought how fun it would be to make branches of leaves for arrangements, I had the materials in my house and came up with a way to make them and then patterned it for Amy, so i was inspired by an artist from the 1800's. Who knows, where jane was inspired? All I know is, I wish i would of thought of the floral tape and wire, I used recycled faded silk floral branches for mine. We all inspire each other everyday!! Finding a different way, a better way, or a marketable way to do something. All I know is that this work of Jane is clean and beautifully executed, and she is clearly a lover of the Amy Butler as she uses her fabrics in the leaves. Here is an extra bonus for ya Jane and a great thank you, I have been asked to make these for people since I designed the pattern for Amy a few years ago (those folk afraid of the sewing machine). Its nice that now I can send people to a wonderfully talented etsy artist's store to purchase something similar to what they saw! Ya got skills!!

A good way to use up those tiny pieces of scraps left from a sewing project. I hurts me to think about just throwing those scrapes away and I have loads of them in a box. Now they will become leaves!

It's really sad that some cannot appreciate that "there is nothing new under the sun" and that each person's take on any project is unique. Thank you so much for sharing. I also downloaded Amy's pattern, and I'm sure if I wanted to look, that there are a wealth more out there. I appreciate you two! I am so sorry to see such criticism from so many people.
