Joyce’s Quilting Quandary

Michael’s birthday this week, so I had to do the final cup cake! They have been fun to do! This had to be a “boy” type cup cake which was a bit of a challenge! This time I used Camouflage fabric for the top, because Michael is in the Army Reserve. The bottom of the cup cake was a black fabric with brown writing on it and I pin tucked the alternate rows. The buttons were included because I like buttons and because I thought that they were a slightly military trim. He is also interested ( passionate ! ) about photography so I included the camera, a bit small to write NiKON on it. The cup cake was particularly appropriate for michael because he and his wife Natalie have made hundreds of mud-cake cupcakes to be wedding cakes for friends and relatives. The base fabric was a recent purchase from Clegs and I added the red corner and machine embroidered the lips across it. I confined the quilting mainly to the top sections.
