Lollypop Wallflowers

Another finish! This time something cheery to keep me smiling through the winter.

A while back, Sparrow requested simple flowers for a quilting bee I was in so I made this block.

Traveling Threads Block for Sparrow

I liked it so much, I really wanted to make more. Well, I finally did and made them into wall hangings by putting them over painter's cavases (tutorial here). I found all the fabric in my scrap bin and a lot of it was little bits and pieces left over from quilting bees.

The flowers are machine appliqued using fusible web and the stems are embroidered with a simple back-stitch.

Now, where to hang them?

    I'm STILL such a huge fan of these. I love your canvases and will have to steal your idea. So lovely! (PS I have a Heather Ross giveaway on my blog)

    These are so cute! I love groupings of similar art.
    The cheap decor options you can make up with some canvases are pretty amazing.

    I really hope you consider imitation to be the sincerest form of flattery! These are amazing and would be SO cute in my room at the friend's house I'll be living at when I move!

    I love these. They turned out so cute. I really like the wall hanging idea. I missed that on Modify Tradition. I think I'll have to try it out.
