Stencil Hop: Flower Piecing

Today's stencil hop features two very talented ladies who are experienced stencil hoppers, back for more stencil action:

• Leslie Tucker Jenison: Leslie is a prolific quilter based in San Antonio, TX.  She has appeared numerous times on Quilting Arts TV and has an hour-long instructional DVD called DIY Surface Design.  She has been published in myriad books and magazines, including Quilting Arts Magazine.
• Tammy Tutterow: Tammy teaches a ton of online classes, both on her blog and at Big Picture Classes.  She also has a roster of upcoming in-person classes, including several in Italy!  Be sure to check out her etsy shop for project kits, jewelry, and lots of ribbon.

I used the 12x12 version of the stencil to create an overall pattern on some green fabric, which in turn I stitched into this cute little clutch:
