Fabric Floral Wall Art Process

First, I spent a day or two painting 5” blocks using the “Gelli Print Method” - it took longer then I had expected, also because some of the colors weren’t turning out the way I wanted them too. My super awesome husband took me to Walmart (because I didn’t want to go by myself) after he got off work and I was able to purchase some more blue acrylic colors.

After laying out the squares I sewed them together in rows of threes.

While ironing I had to use parchment paper due to the paint. The paint was not iron friendly- so the parchment paper helped.

Panel all sewn together.

Drew some stems on green fabric using fabric chalk

The pieces were to thick - so I cut off the leaves and cut the stems in half and placed them on the panel.

Then I had to choose what thread to use- this thread was given to me by my Oma Hildegard Malkusch. Nice to still have a little piece of her around. I decided on the lighter shade. After sewing on the stems I added the leaves using different stitches from my Simple Singer Sewing Machine that I purchased from my local Walmart store.

After adding the stems, I glued on the petals using a little bit of Elmer’s glue.

Then I sewed on the petals using different stitches
