    Check, but I think they can be heat set.

    I was thinking the same thing. Maybe embellish the flowers with some beading would be pretty. And you could put the name of the flowers on the "window sill."

    So beautiful! Can hardly wait to see what you do with them. Maybe wall hangings that may never be washed.

    They certainly are beautiful. I'm afraid the embroidered names might detract from their beauty.

    I love the third one with the light green shown. The first one with the darkest green is also nice. I don't really care for the middle one with the medium green. From the work you are doing, I'm sure whatever you decide will be just right. I can't wait to see it when it's done!

    Omigosh, these are STUNNING!! I can see some lovely quilting or embroidery along the edges of the flowers to make them pop.

    I love the top of your three snowball versions. I can't wait to see it finished.

    If any of the sisters still has her blocks and wants to be rid of them, I volunteer to adopt!! :mrgreen:
