Its lovely and your work is sooo beautiful!

Can you tell me the name of the pattern and where you bought it? I'd like to look at it :lol:

I would like all of your flower patterns, but I do not know how to email you. Sherry

Thanks for your comments - yes the Geranium is a sort of 3D effect which I think makes it look so realistic. I'll email you the info, do you want the other 9 (I think) LOL blocks that go with it. Each one is a different flower. If I remember before I go to my next meeting I'll get the lady those made all of them to bring the quilt along for me to take pics & then I can post here for all to see. That won't be until the third Monday in the month though if you don't mind waiting until then. :D
Let me know for certain.

Totally awesome work! Very inspiring!

Thanks for your comments - I have the pattern if you want a copy PM me with your email address & I'll forward it onto you. There are about 9 different flower blocks in total. Each one as beautiful as each other. :wink:

Tisha

I can't believe that this is your first attempt at applique. You certainly look like a pro to me. Absolutely beautiful!!!! If the offer still stands for a copy of the flower blocks, I will pm my email address to you. Thanks again for the beautiful pictures!!

WOW!! Again, magnificent!!

Each individual flower which makes up the Geranium head is held in place with 3 French Knots. For the veins on the Geranium leaves I used 2 strands of DMC thread.
Still not too sure whether I am going to make it into a small wall hanging or a cushion cover. I also thought of adding binding made out of the buttermilk fabric to frame it or maybe black to bring out the French Knots on the flowers - what do you ladies advise?

Tisha.

Good job. Keep up the good work.
