hi everyone,
here is another pic of my flowers i am going to use on my quilt, these are the 4 different coloured ones(with the 5cent peice). i also have a picture of another type of flower i like. most of them i cant buy off ebay anymore cause they have sold:(

i might have a go at making them myself. it looks as though they are just ribbon type made flowers. any hints would be good ladies

hi everyone

well i have decided to break making my quilt down into stages.

1. sew big branches onto quilt as background.
2. sew smaller size branches onto quilt(these are what the flower bunches will hang off), add texture to the branches(eg: add tulle, satin, velvet ect)
3. trace on the flowers branches(these will be what i glue the flowers onto), and start to hand embroider these into place. remember to sew with silver thread
4. trace in place the garden verse/poem. start to hand embroider in place with gold thread.
5. postion the flowers in place and sew/glue.
6. hand quilt the back of the quilt in a vine pattern(this will be on the calico) and add the sleeves for hanging,.
7. once all the above steps have been done and i am happy with it. sew the whole art quilt together and add a wavy boarder.

so far i am up to step 2. i hope to be finished this step by the end of this weekend(12th june), i have monday off so i can work on my hand embroidery then for step 3.
