Sew Tweet by Luminous Fiber Arts

"Sew Tweet" celebrates the love of sewing! It has warm, bright colors but also has a soft, vintage feel. The words "Sew Tweet" (a play on so sweet) appear across the top. A turquoise bird perches atop a spool of thread holding a threaded needle in its beak. Next to the spool are a tiny tomato pin cushion and a golden thimble. The bird is surrounded by stars and a blue and white check border.
