Hello Friends
This weeks challenge for Project Quilting 8.2 is Carolina Lily. I knew I wanted to do something 3 dimensional. I made the petals first using an orange peel template. Then I made the leaves. I just took two pieces of fabric with batting in the middle and sewed a leaf shape. Then I cut out as close to the stitching as I could.
Because I didn't want the batting to show, I used a brown marker to color in the batting. Then I took a kitchen straw and covered it with fabric. I made the stamen by curling brown wire and inserting it into the top of the straw.
They are held in by hot glue. While assembling I thought it would be fun to have the leaves hang off the sides. Of course, when I was quilting the background I found puckers in the back. Thankfully they were on the other side of the flower. This measures 16 x 9 1/2. Linking up to
