Still not too sure whether I am going to make it into a small wall hanging or a cushion cover. I also thought of adding binding made out of the buttermilk fabric to frame it or maybe black to bring out the French Knots on the flowers - what do you ladies advise?

Tisha.

You did a wonderful job that is so pretty i would make a wall hanging the cushion i would think the flowers would be pulled off if you have young ones keep up the good work

wow, sew cute.

Your Flower blocks are just absolutely stunning - I've never seen anything like that in the 3-D look - the flower seem like they can just jump right off the page...
I was wondering if you would be willing to share the pattern...I would love to learn how to do that - it's just to different - and absolutely so beautiful...
Have a great evening!

Looks beautiful and you did a great job !!!

n2scraplvr 02-23-2010 09:59 AM

Wow! So stunning! I think I would go with a slightly darker green binding so no attention would be on the frame and all focus on the flower! Great great job!!!
:D :D

You sure did an AWESOME job!!!!! That is beautiful!!!

Tisha love your flowers. I have also done that technique and you should try using a triangle for the aron lily with a yellow vilt folded centre. Looks great.

ConnieF 03-26-2010 06:25 PM

Very NIce, you are a pro already...
Fun wasn't it? I love all kinds of applique

Its lovely and your work is sooo beautiful!

Can you tell me the name of the pattern and where you bought it? I'd like to look at it :lol:

Patti

I would like all of your flower patterns, but I do not know how to email you. Sherry
Ah Patti

Thanks for your comments - yes the Geranium is a sort of 3D effect which I think makes it look so realistic. I'll email you the info, do you want the other 9 (I think) LOL blocks that go with it. Each one is a different flower. If I remember before I go to my next meeting I'll get the lady those made all of them to bring the quilt along for me to take pics & then I can post here for all to see. That won't be until the third Monday in the month though if you don't mind waiting until then. :D
Let me know for certain.

Thanks for your comments - I have the pattern if you want a copy PM me with your email address & I'll forward it onto you. There are about 9 different flower blocks in total. Each one as beautiful as each other. :wink:

Tisha

I can't believe that this is your first attempt at applique. You certainly look like a pro to me. Absolutely beautiful!!!! If the offer still stands for a copy of the flower blocks, I will pm my email address to you. Thanks again for the beautiful pictures!!

WOW!! Again, magnificent!!
