(Netscape viewers - click on a thumbnail to close pop up window.)This section presents a collection of designs for novelty mobiles, machine trapunto items and quilted decor motifs featuring flowers, Christmas plants, angels and butterflies. Quilted motifs are ideal for decorating many items around the home, such as cushions or curtain tie-backs, or they can be appliqued to clothing or used as brooches. A combination of quilting and free machine embroidery is used to make oversize examples of real butterflies. These are so realistic they could fly off your work! Apart from the uses suggested above, the butterflies could also be added to floral appliqués, or mounted to make an environmentally friendly butterfly display.PATCH FLORA - NOVELTY MOBILES, TRAPUNTO & MOTIF DESIGNS
Most of the designs in the floral applique section of the catalogue can be reworked in machine trapunto technique. For those who already have patterns and would like to use them differently there is a Machine Trapunto Instructions Pack, which includes a simple pansy motif for practise use. This pack (order code MTIN) costs £2.00 plus P&P 85p if purchased separately, but only 50p if purchased with an applique design.
