Flowers — Fabric and Real

I just can’t seem to stop trying out these little flowers. This one was very very easy to make.


This is the orchid pattern — I love the effect and had to make it using two sets of fabrics. I was unsure of it but went to a local florist’s shop to see some real orchids and was a bit more satisfied about the shape.


I prefer it with the darker fabric as the centre.


Yet another — these are way too addictive. I can envision a small wall-hanging with branches and flowers of varying types. Or these could be used to adorn small needle books — the list just seems to go on and on.

I tried this one last night. I’m not thrilled with my fabric choices for it but I’m looking at all of these as a learning experience right now.

Some more of the flowers out on the roof garden. I have no idea what they are, but they’re absolutely gorgeous.

These wonderful warm afternoons seem to equate a sleepy kitty. This may be one of my favourite pictures of Smudge.

  1. Cathi, you sure have been busy with quite a few fabric projects. The orchid is to die for. You know how much I adore fabric flowers. Your beaded needlebooks are just fabulous. I understand how addictive doing small projects can be. I think it’s all about the instant gratification that is so satisfying. Give the boys a hug from me!Happy Belated Canada Day!Aloha!

  2. I’m thrilled with the fabric choices. Just so you know! I prefer the darker fabric center fabrics, too but…you’re not thrilled with that other one and the fabrics, ha? Oh my, my, my. Well I love that one. I’m going to have Kanga talk to Smudge and see what he thinks. I’ll ask her after my nap.
