Broiderie Perse Applique Finished

I wanted to show you some close up photos of my finished Broiderie Perse applique piece:

This one is a little closer:

Be sure to click on that bottom photo so you can see the stitching up close.

The beetle is a little brooch.  I've had it for awhile and can't remember for sure but I think it was given to me.

I used a variety of Kreinik #4 Braid colors which really make the applique pop.

Today I pieced up my example block for my Broiderie Perse on Crazy Quilts tutorial.  The tutorial will be presented in 2 parts.  I will post Part 1 over the weekend.

I need to shop for fabric.  Can you believe I said that?  LOL!!!  No, I don't need any fabric, I just need more fabric with larger flowers on it in more colors so I can do more of this!  Okay, so I do need more fabric!

So anyway, gather up some of your larger floral prints and stop back over the weekend.  This is such a cool and easy way to add more interest to your crazy quilting!
