Flower Garland

Who doesn't love pinterest? 

 I made this garland for my sewing room after seeing it on my sister-in-laws pinterest board.

First I free-handed a template. 

  Traced 4 petals per flower out of woolfelt. Basted petals.
  (notice placement of needle, and stitches if you are going to try this)

and carefully gathered.

I ran the needle once more through the gathered petals.

.

A good match with my chair and rug... just a punch of color to my room.
( I know what you're thinking... a green flower? yea, I haven't seen one either)

makes a cute shamrock too!  (minus one petal)
