Feliz Dia de los Muertos

Our good friends Lynne and Jack have a Day of the Dead celebration every year. When I saw these amazing fabrics from Alexander Henry a couple of months ago I knew I needed to make something special with them. The party is tonight and I just finished hand stitching the binding on this morning. I love how it turned out.
