What You Make of It: Quilt Scraps Posies By Elizabeth Holcombe

For each flower, use pinking shears to cut out three circles from small
to large and to cut out a pair of leaves. Sew the three circles
together with smallest on top. Then sew a button on top of the stack.
Twirl the floral wire around your finger or a screwdriver handle to
make a curlicue. Straighten the twisted stem a little bit. Make a small
loop on one end of the wire “stem”.

 With the embroidery floss, sew the
flower to the loop. Then use the floss to the stitch the leaves to the
stem by folding over one end of each leaf around the stem. Use a
running stitch to attach the leaf to the stem.

Elizabeth Holcombe Fedorko, aka Bethsbagz, began her
checkered crafting career when at four she realized using paste on paper was
better than eating it. Inspired by vintage dime store treasures, vintage
fabric, and a no-fear attitude toward color, Beth crafts totes, pin cushions,
wreaths, and corsages into her Dime Store Chic creations. Beth would love you
to take a peek into her whimsical world at her blog.
