~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 :)
