Stitchin' Wednesday - Spring Flowers!
I'm excited to say I have a weekly feature with Homespun Crafters on facebook! Their page is dedicated to reusing and re-purposing items in your home to be useful or beautiful again. My feature will be each Wednesday featuring stitched items.
With spring on it's way (it's not here yet and I have the pictures to prove it) I'm in the late stages of cabin fever. I needed something to satisfy my desire for spring color. I'm not an overly creative person; I have a hard time coming up with original ideas so I took to google.
I have a bunch of fat quarter fabric samples I purchased a while back to use for a project and had several quarters left when I had finished. The fabric is really pretty and speaks to my inner hippie (the line of fabric is called "bohemian soul"). I found a great project idea and tutorial through google on this blog. It's long stemmed fabric flowers! They only require a bit of fabric, your sewing machine, hot glue and some sticks. I happened to have some floral stems from a time I made some knit roses so I used those.
I used different shapes, not just a scallop. The pink one reminds me of a tulip which reminds me of spring time growing up in Michigan. I bound them together with additional scrap fabric and a bit more hot glue.
They should certainly brighten up our nook and perhaps even suppress my cabin fever for a short time!
