Felt appliqué



Good greyish morning everyone, well I am showcasing children's work today. These are the competed flowers that the children in school have done. It is the first time that most of them have done any sewing, and if you look closely you can see the variety of styles and stitching they used.

They all seemed to thoroughly enjoy it, and it was good to see them sat sewing and chatting away. There are just about a half dozen who need to complete theirs.


The next stage will be to trim them down and then frame them as their Mother's day cards, so that will be next weeks job. As you can see the flowers are cut from Spellbinder and Big Shot dies, the children chose the shapes and colours and set the flowers how they wanted them, we just pinned and started them off.
Well that's it for today, keep warm.

  3. Thanks Patricia, I will pass on your good wishes , and yes I will take photographs of the finished cards. It's gone very cold here now, and tiny bits of white stuff keep appearing, though it has not been forecast.
