Say It With Flowers...

Here is an easy way to make a fabric flower.


Cut five circles from scrap fabric


Finger press in half;  baste stitch with strong thread near the fold line




Add each petal as above then remove needle and pull both ends of thread together; tie a square knot.


Place a small square of felt on "back" side of flower; sew beads on top of flower going through the felt on back to hold everything in place.



I used the flower to adorn a hand made thank you note.


Go to Pink Saturday for more inspiration!
