Hey, Rob. I sew, when I can, and my wife does wire crafts. I started buying her braided copper (home electrical) grounding cable, and I discovered that the copper is easier to sew with. also it doesn't rust with time. Keep up the good work, you got me working on free motion quilting.

As an avid gardener I am thrilled that I will be able to bring my garden blooms into the house and share all year long! Thanks Rob!!!

I started making 3D flowers ans leafs in the 90's, because of Elena Burns. I love doing them, so to see you video'ed this tec on your youtube, delights me greatly. So glad I seen this one. Thank you.

Hey Rob, instead of pushing fabric down into the center, you could purchase stamens in the floral area of your favorite craft shop and use those for the center. The stamens are already on wires and they would be held first and the petals would then be added around them. I think I would go for yellow stamens.
 I've always wanted to know how to make flowers out of fabric, so thank You very much for this video!

Hi Rob,

I just made a whole bunch of very long skinny leaves for an art quilt. I used a couching foot and a very small zig zag stitch to sew over the wire. The couching foot will keep the wire in place. Then you can bend and even gather the leaf. This video came at a great time for my art quilt as I still need to make a flower! Thank you!

Thanks Rob great tutorial. I have made fabric lotus and in the center I used a 5" square hand sewn like a yoyo, filled with sand. Then hot glued it to the center of the flower to make a pin cushion.

Rob, if I could make a quilt for anyone in the world, i could say the Queen of England, the President, or a host of other notorious people. But I would make it for my deceased Grandma. She passed away over 30 years ago and I miss her still more today. Grandma was the one who taught me to sew & quilt. She spent countless hours with me sewing and talking. Today I would give anything for her to see how I have continued to learn and grow in my sewing and quilting knowledge. She was taken way before her time, but I know she is healthy now. I would just like to wrap her in a quilt I made, full of love. So, it would have to be Grandma Addie.

Too cool! I've always been a fan of Monet's Water Lily series and this reminds me of his work.

Thanks for the awesome video! I love how you always seem to have something different to make. Helps me when i run out of ideas. These flowers could be used in so many ways. Your videos are so fun to watch.

Rob, This was great!!!! You did a wonderful job finish off the flower. You might try using longer wires even with the small petals. When I work in floral shops and we rewired flower arrangements ; we worked with longer wires and as the arrangement came together we would trim a few at a time as we added that way we we didn't end up with a short thick base of wires to cover.... also, gave more options of what we could do later with the arrangement. Rob, you are such a talented gentlemen. I have enjoyed all of your videos and have learn so I did this one. Thank you for taking your time and sharing your talent!!!!

[kezla]

I love this idea. I'm a super novice machine stitcher, so may sew these by hand! A great travel/holiday project too.
