Potpourri Stitchers: Felted Flower Part 1 of 3

Lee Popp will lead us in making one of the felted flowers from Embroidered Flora & Fauna  by Lesley Turpin-Delport and Nikki Delport-Wepener. The pattern and instructions are on pages 23, 34, 38-39, 60-62, 144-145.

This flower is made by cutting out multiple pieces of felt and layering them with ribbon and thread embellishment. When finished, it can be made into a brooch or put on a stem in a vase.

Some of the stitches used are Buttonhole (optional), Needle Weaving, Running/gathering stitch, Couching, Drizzle (optional), and Colonial or French Knots.

In this meeting, we will bond the two fabric layers for 3 flower petals, draw the pattern pieces onto freezer paper, iron the freezer paper pattern onto fabric(s), and cut out the fabric pieces.

It's a long list of supplies but the amounts needed are small for most of it so we will be sharing materials and expertise.  Bring what you can.
