Beautiful work on both. I love how you did the flowers on the wallhanging.
|
very nice!
|
Wow -- they are both just gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D
|
Wonderful!! Great job :!:
|
Wow! What a clever and unique idea to bash the flowers in with a hammer. I would never have thought of that in a million years.
These are very nice! I can't believe these are your first ones. Can't wait to see what you do next! |
Beautiful job. Never heard of hammering flowers into fabric. I'm gonna have to try that. Thank you for the instructions.

We did this when we were kids hope you like it. Rdem I just attended a small workshop on how to do this technique, I am looking at making myself an apron. We were told to treat the fabric first with Alum & Soda Crystals then once dry tape the flowers in place with masking tape before hammering & hey presto the image is transferred. Apparently there is a list of other flowers that work just as well as pansies. BTW I have to say I love both of your quilts :wink: Tisha |
Both are so Beautiful.
