Fabric flowers
 
I want to put some 3-D fabric flowers on a quilt border. Can anyone give me ideas where I can find tutorials for them? I don't want them to be too involved or take a long time to make each one. Thanks!

Can you embroider with your machine? There are easy peasy patterns from Hatched in Africa.

You can buy a clover Kanzashi maker. One is about 5 bucks but they are super easy to make, hobby lobby and joanns sometimes have them

Have you ever looked at silk ribbon flowers? Most of them are very easy to make and you wouldn't have too much to invest price wise. Just a thought.

How about clusters of yo-yo's?

Eleanor Burn's book "Magic Vine" has beautiful flowers to appliqué, and the instructions make them no fail.

There is a yo-yo type template that you can get that is easy to make flowers. They come in different styles and sizes.

There is a book called Fantastic Fabric Folding by Rebecca Wat that has some wonderful ideas.
Couldn't you also use prairie points in a pinwheel pattern?

I had never heard of this product Dolphyngrl so I looked for it online and watched the video. These would make adorable headbands for little girls and something to do while watching TV or waiting for appointments.

Thanks so much for posting this to the Board.

I would suggest youtube, and search fabric flowers. Seems I can always find what I need there. Very inexpensive classes. lol
