I appliqued the flower to the taupe background, then placed that on the thin batting and background. Fitting it into the hoop, I tried to get the flower straight and centered.


I used the inside of the hoop to help me keep the stitches even.

And, I first wrote the things I wanted to write in vanishing marker, and the filled in that with black  permanent marker.


And that was pretty much it.

Have a happy quilting day, everyone :)

The exception here is Pinterest, because I give you permission to pin my photos there IF YOU CITE THEM AS COMING FROM THIS BLOG AND THUS FROM ME.

I understand that Pinterest is useful for saving tutorials and photos for quilting inspiration, because I use it that way myself, and I'm okay with you doing that too - but PLEASE: "cite when you write". Give the creator some credit, will you? 
I have nothing against you trying to make something similar, or even selling it, but I'd like to get some credit for being your inspiration. Why? Well, because lots of crafts are passed down from person to person, and it feels nice to be able to say "yes, I taught you how to make that".

What I DON*T LIKE is you flat out stealing my photos and my written text.
