Your Lilac is beautiful!!!! :D

Thanks for your comments - the only needle turn is the leaves the flower heads are made using bondaweb ironed onto one side of the fabric when it's cooled & you remove the paper iron fabric onto the other side this really makes the fabric nice & firm. Draw each flower onto the bondawebbed fabric cut out, arrange as desired & sew in place with French Knots. Easy peasy - but very time consumming.
You ought to give it a bash LOL.
