Wildflowers

Today I experimented with an embroidery design package called Wildflowers from Smith Street Designs. A number of years ago, I saw the quilt, loved it, and purchased the design packet.  Then I got home and looked at the instructions and decided I wasn't ready to tackle this project.  It used fusible applique during the embroidery process.  I was not  keen on the idea and the pattern has been sitting in a box.  I got it out last evening and went to the Smith Street website.  They mentioned that they no longer use the fused applique and suggested that you can use the stitch and trim method with their old designs.  So the disk came out of the box and the designs were loaded into my sewing machine.  I made these two quilt squares today.  I've decided to make a table runner instead of a quilt.  These two were experiments.  The top using tear away stabilizer and the other using an iron-on stabilizer.  I didn't add the name to the bottom one.  The fabrics are hand dyed fabrics that I purchased when I friend closed her quilt shop a few years ago.  There are a total of 6 flowers in the design set.
