If you own Judith Montano's "Floral Stitches" book, you'll probably recognize this pansy pattern. Judith did hers out of velvet.
I wanted to do something cool with my painted dryer sheets so I used Heat & Bond and applied them to pastel solid colored cotton fabric. Once I had everything bonded together, I used some iron-on interfacing on the back of the pansies.
I drew up the leaves myself but they're not attached at this point.
I used 3 strands of DMC embroidery floss for the blanket stitching and I think I'm going to do some tatted rings for the centers with beads. Then I'll embroider the black lines in and some veins on the leaves.
Finished Kawandi

Here is the finished Kawandi project....
It measures about 14" square, although 'square' is a debatable point. It
seems all the hand stitching pulls it...
