The last flower embroidery for "My Ravel quilt" is completed.


I worked on the center red flower forever.  First I ironed on a layer of metal organza and outlined it with red metallic thread and black 15mm beads.  Next I embroidered 2 separate layers of tulle with the jagged outline of the flower and cut them out.  Then I outlined the center shape of the flower on velvet with 18mm metal faceted beads and cut it out. Finally I built a flower sandwich.

I have 3 more small solid circles to embroider  plus the motifs to complete before I can start assembling.
See the label "My Ravel" to see the rest of the designs.

  3. This is just wonderful!! The extra effort on that central flower really paid off. She's a stunner. And I think my favorite part is those tendrils with a few beads thrown in here and there. This is a fave for sure.
