Quilting: Pretty Posies

Pretty Posies

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Machine-Finished Hand Appliqué »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Classic


What was your inspiration?

This project had the look of needle turned applique which I love.

What are you most proud of?

I'm really proud of the way it turned out. I love doing handwork, but am unable to do much of it any more. Using the machine to stitch down the appliques was easy and I still had the opportunity to add a little hand embroidery.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Go for it!! Using a foundation and glue stick to prepare pieces for applique is so much easier than templates that use a hot iron and starch.

Wow -- this is just gorgeous. Your colour choices are excellent and it's hard to see but your stippling seems to complement the flowers nicely. Were they hand appliqued?

A-mazing! Absolutely gorgeous. Did you hand embroider the details on the petals? Love the beads. Love.

Thank you! I did a stem stitch around the inner petals with a variegated thread and just straight stitch details inside. What looks like beads is actually a metallic gold embroidery thread stitched with straight stitches between the other stitches. It seemed to have an amazing effect! This class has been so much fun, I've already started another project!
