Flower FMQ Tutorial, KennedyGood Morning, Quilters!

Welcome back to Tuesday Tutorials!  Every week-a new, original step-by-step pattern.  I stitch on a domestic sewing machine-A BERNINA 770 QE…however, these motifs will work on any machine from treadle to long arm.

Today’s pattern, named after my daughter, Faye (a fabulous doodler) would look great on any quilt, from Modern to Traditional.

Begin stitching a small circle.  I overstitched this circle for added emphasis.

Next, stitch a small scallop.
