that's all you need...
-measuring tape
- a cardboard circle 2" diametre
- cut 9 circles without SA for the petals (SA= seam allowance)
- cut one circle with SA for the top
- cut one circle with SA for the bottom
cut one stripe 6 3/4" X 7/8" for the side
- cut two circles without SA of batting
- cut one stripe of batting the size of your measuring tape (side)

with the wonder under on the fabric it's easy to fuse the fabric SA on the batting..

I sewed a stripe of wonder under on the fabric stripe to hold the batting...

iron the nine little circles in half , than in half again to form the petals...

baste the bottom circle around the cardboard and iron....

.........

baste the petals together....

...and form a circle a little bit smaller than the diametre of the top fabric.

baste also the top fabric around the cardboard...

don't close the side fabric to a ring, the small slot is needed to sort the tape....

hand sew the stripe to the bottom circle...

put the tape inside and secure it like above to the fabric....

baste the top fabric to the petals and hand sew it in place...

hand sew the top to the tape.....

........

cut s small strip of fabric for the flower stem...

close the seams and sew it on the end of the tape......

isn't that a cute gift for a quilting friend? :-)

Measuring tape....

That's all I sewed yesterday..... a cloth for a measuring tape
(2" (5 cm) diameter)
I have 9 more of this measuring tapes to finish....
When I do the next I will take pics of the "clothing process"
.....

and a new pic of our crazy dog Jackie with my youngest.. Christelle.
Have a nice sunday! :-)

AQS online quilt contest

As I told you in october there is an online quilt contest at AQS.
From november 03 on you can vote for your favourite quilt .
Here you can see all the entries and vote. There are really beautiful quilts!

I think that the quilt I entered in this contest has no chance with all this pieces of art.
:-) My favourite is the Red Lily.
