Class Samples...Finished

The kit components are assembled, the directions written, and the samples for my upcoming class on 3 D floral embellishments are all stitched.

Why did I make three samples, you might ask?
Because I want my students to make their own design decisions when embellishing their blocks. There is no one "right way" to go...so I thought I'd show some different approaches. I also wanted to give them a choice of which color kit to buy, and they need to visualize them in order to decide.

So here they are....

The white.....

The green.....

And the black.

Those cross stitch butterflies are from a pattern that my dear friend Pam Kellogg, of Kitty and Me Designs, created for me especially for this class. Thank you, Pam!
(For her fabulous cross stitch designs for crazy quilting, buy her book, Elegant Crazy Quilt Seam Treatments on Etsy.)

I enjoyed getting this class material together very much. There is so much that could be added to these blocks...especially beading. But my students will have to take it from here....

Next up for me is a different kind of 3 D flower construction, one I am HIGHLY excited about learning. I am waiting to get all my materials and tools together.....hopefully by Wednesday I'll be able to get started.
For a hint of what it's all about, look here....and stay tuned!
