I made another batch of fabric flowers. These are the pointy petals.
It's an opportunity to use up some of the buttons in my stash,
since I no longer need them for journal closures.
This one features one of the lilac stick buttons I made a few years ago.
Here's the rounded petal set.
I still have to add the backing safety pins.
Most of these will go for the LSQG Boutique at the quilt shows later this year.
At my Charmers Ladies Small Quilt Group in January, I brought a hand-work project to try making a fabric flower from 6 3-inch circles of fabric. I used dental floss for the thread, because it needed to be strong. It worked great!
It went so well, I should have brought a few more kits to make more flowers.
I can use up some of the buttons in my stash that I saved for journal closures.
This is the tutorial I used for both pointy and round-petaled flowers.
I love the pearls and sparkle on this one, but I think it might be a little too big for this little flower?
Expect a few more of these ...
This may be my contribution to the boutique for the Quilt Shows this year. I
t's the kind of thing I would buy at a quilt show!
