I am joining in with @tobelovedtreasuresbycorrine on her Celebrate the Season challenge. I am starting with Spring. In this episode I use boutis /trapunto technique to make a raised flower. Boutis or trapunto uses threads through a fabric channel to create quilted sections. I combine that with my slow stitching to give the flower a little puff. I also take you through my Spring Garden and embroider jonquils (at last!) using ribbon. • View Corrine’s playlist here: • Celebrate the season • Here is the list of everything to include: • 1.Select a bird or butterfly or bee or bug or animal that complements the piece ! Stitch it in! • 2. Words .. add a phase or poem.. about the season. Can be stitched or added as a preprinted element. • 3. Variety of threads and ribbons to embroider the flowers and critters…painting in threads. • 4.
