EPP Flower Hoop Art Pattern - Includes pre-cut papers

This pretty Hoop Art project uses a curved English paper-piecing technique to create this flower design, which is then appliquéd onto a background, hand quilted, then mounted into a 10" embroidery hoop to hang on your wall.

This printed pattern comes with pre-cut paper templates as well as a template sheet to photocopy for future use. 

In these easy-to-follow instructions, I show you how to glue-baste your shapes using the paper templates included, before sewing them together using a 'flat whip stitch'. I then explain how to appliqué your flower onto the background before adding some decorative hand quilting. There are then full photographic instructions on how to mount your hoop.

Skill level: Skilled Beginner

You will need;

• 16" square of butter muslin or equally fine fabric for backing the panel to hand quilt
• 16" square of wadding
