MY SUPPLIES

My fabrics and batting - I use Vilene High Loft Volume Fleece 295 or quilters batting from the Remnant House in the UK:

I can’t live without my sharp stabby tool as I call it, is a clay sculpting tool. I bought it in my local craft shop. Amazon do sell them as part of a clay sculpting set but not individually.

All my other supplies are from Amazon including my large squizzors. They are actually aquarium precision pinch action scissors.

I use H2O gone FSL water soluble stabilizer or Brothread cut away stabilizer for my stitch outs.

Such a pretty centerpiece! Thanks for the inspiration.

[phylham]

Absolutely beautiful. I must try these.

[Jacelyn]

Kay, this is beautiful. Thanks! Would it be possible to demonstrate a rose done in FSL? I know there are designs out there, but I would love to see a tutorial. Thanks!

[cynrest]

Wow. That's gorgeous but labor intensive! Love poppies. Perhaps a few of the flowers would look great on a wreath and be easier to make?

[lorrainestrong]

Can you tell me if there is a specific tape that you recommend when embroidering! I like what you use.

[johnawrzosek]

Which Balloon tree did you get? There are so many. The link did not work. I want to make sure I get the right ones, like your. Do you have a product number or link to that one? Thanks

[lorrainestrong]

Do you have a certain tape that you recommend for use in embroidering?

[MultiSHAW]

Can you make the whole thing on a 4x4 hoop .?

[kakoenrune]

Where do I find the straws ? and the other things you used? Thanks

[johnawrzosek]

Can you spray paint the stem green? instead of tape.

[johnawrzosek]

I watched your video 4 times before I think I got it right. For other viewers (don't rinse out the petals like I did), before finishing the whole flower, the petals will shrink, and you won't be able to match the center correctly. dummy me. Before the petal dries shape the flower, after it dries you won't be able to. Hope this helps others. She explains it very well, but It did not sink in very well, dummy me. Love all her designs and I am going to pay more attention next time. (if you want to remove this, because it is not appropriate. but I thought it would help others)
