I got two of these little kits at the quilt show last week. I love pre-cut felt kits as the cutting of the felt is always so fiddly, especially if you need small pieces. I decided to try one, and it went together quickly, and looks pretty cute. I may try to make a larger version of this as a Christmas ornament. You can see by the penny that is there for scale that this will be better as a pin, which was how the kit was sold, or maybe a magnet or package decoration.
The odd thing about this kit was that there were no instructions. There was a photo of the finished piece, and a small slip of paper that showed how to make a half-dozen standard embroidery stitches, but that was it. Fortunately, it was pretty self explanatory, the layers of felt were joined together with the round metal paper fastener, a few stitches were made in the top layer of petals then some stitching around the outer edge.
While I am holding onto summer as long as I can, I can now say that I have started my Christmas crafting.
Oh no the C word. Your flower is very sweet.
But see, now that I have done this, I can go back to ignoring the C word for a while. I really just wanted to make the cute little kit.
Pretty, Pretty!
I liked it so much I bought two of them!

That is so cute. I like that the felt is pre-cut 🙂
Pre-cut is my favorite kind of felt. 🙂
That is really cute. I’ve never worked with felt. I will have to give it a try sometime.
It is nice because you can leave the edges raw. Not having to hem the sides is a time (and sanity) saver.
