This week's puzzle is a bit of a departure.  It is actually the cover of a scissor and needle case created by TQS Guest and Teacher, Lauren Vlcek.

You can watch Lauren in Episode 1206: The Magical World of Mixed Media debuting on Monday, March 11, 2013.

You learn about embellishment in Lauren's classroom, Fabric Fancification.

 Artist statement:

This contemporary scissor and needle case features an original print on canvas of a painting I did of Frida Kahlo. The case measures 6 inches by 6 inches when closed. It opens to 6 inches by 15 1/2 inches and utilizes 2 magnetic snap closures. The needle pages are made of wool felt. The fabrics on the interior and exterior of the case are modern 100% quilting weight cotton supported by 2 kinds of interfacing for a sturdy hand.
