To Make Up
Weave in ends. Attach the centres to the flowers.
Stitch the leaves to the stem with the small leaves at the narrow end, the medium leaves in the middle and the large leaves towards the bottom.
I attach the stem with the leaves to the blanket first and then add the flowers, I stitch up the middle of the leaves only, so they curl over. Sew the flowers to the stem, I stitch around the centre of the flowers.
And there’s the finished flower appliqués. I’ve also made them in different sizes and colours.
I hope that you’ve enjoyed this pattern. You should also have a look at some of my other patterns, including the rose, flower for beginners, flower cushion, the orchid and the daisy pattern.
