Good Morning, Quilters!
By the time you read this I should be winging my way to Denver to film at Craftsy!
I didn’t want YOU to be bored while I was away…
Here’s an adorable flower for YOUR next quilt!
THE BOUTONNIERE-MACHINE QUILTING TUTORIAL
This adorable flower can be stitched in any size from small to large. Use the Cute as a Button Tutorial in the center of the flower or keep it simple by stitching a plain circle center.
Begin stitching a straight line stem and a large circle.
Echo stitch the circle and add the button detail. (Optional)
Stitch out of the circle near the stem…
Stitch five to six scallops around the circle.
Closely echo stitch the stem and add two leaves.
Stitch to the bottom and over to begin the next flower.
Such a happy flower!
Change the look of the flowers by changing the petals…
Be creative!
Have fun quilting because when you do–your quilts will be fun!
Happy Stitching,
Lori

Kathy (WV), How lovely your accolades for Lori & her generosity.
I often believe that we take talented artists such as Lori for granted, with an “O.K, Here is another of Lori’s FMQ tutorials to try” with ought giving much thought to her daily sharing & encouragement. Thank you Cathy ever so much for your thoughtfulness which should make all of us more grateful.

Super cute spring flowers and a great tutorial. I actually have a Spring quilt with applique flowers that this will be perfect for. Thanks. And I hope you are having a blast in Denver. Eager to learn more about your new class.

Oh this is too cute. I need a diversion from the chaos. I will try this one out today.
Flowers make me happy — mostly the ones on fabric, and drawn and sewn 😀
The real ones tend to make me sneeze a-ah-chooo
