I started with 6 "bushes" of white flowers, yards of 3 different kinds of white lace, and 2 spools of white organdy ribbon. This is what was left.
After removing 64 sprigs of flowers from the bushes and cutting the lace to fit; I hand sewed them to the umbrella. The small plastic knob at the top of the umbrella was covered by a swirl of lace sewn to resemble a rosette. I added double strands of organdy ribbon to the edge of the 8 umbrella spokes and sewed single flowers to the ends of the strands. This doesn't sound like much, but it took days of sewing. I think the result was worth it.
That's my excuse for not using any of my stash this week.

Weddings are such wonderful reasons for not being able to quilt. I am sure your umbrella (which is adorable) will be treasures long after the shower is over.
