Red Carnation by Sara Y

For this week's project I used 41 different ties and made an envelope case for a 16 by 16 pillow form. On the back the wide end of the ties are used for the opening of the envelope. On the front the ties radiate from the center with,  of course, a red carnation right in the middle.  No truly well dressed man would never leave home without a red carnation.

I used quilting, sewing and handwork for the flower techniques for this project. I've been collecting ties for a number of years and am glad to finally have an opportunity to use some of them.
