Could you help me make a bouquet?

As you may know I take part in my family's church Tree Festival every Christmas where there are 60 real trees all decorated in various themes. My tree is always full of stitched ornaments, if you haven't seen them before here's the links to a few.


This year I would like to do a floral tree - A Bouquet of Flowers. 

Since my diagnosis I have received so many beautiful flowers which have certainly brought a smile to my face and lifted my spirits. This year I'd like to fill my Christmas tree with flowers ....... and I'm hoping you will help.

Each of my ornaments will be a mini hanging pillow with a flower head for each design, here's two I have stitched but not yet made up.




I have used 28ct but the flowers can be on any fabric with a design size of a maximum 3" x 3".

There is no need to make up the mini pillow, if you stitch on a piece of fabric 6" x 6" and send it to me I will make up all the mini pillows using a variety of backing fabrics and ribbons for hanging making a colourful display.

By sending just the stitched piece it should not be too much postal costs.... I live in the UK so some post will be overseas.

It would be absolutely superb if you would help me make my 'bouquet' - please leave a comment if you would like to help and I will reply with my postal address.

Huge thank you 🌹

That's such a good idea! I don't usually stitch flowers but have always wanted an excuse to stitch a pink lily so would be glad to help out. Now to go rummaging through my stash for a suitably-sized one. :)

I would love to help by stitching a small flower. I need to look for a small patter to stitch. How long does it take to ship something to UK from the middle of Canada?

Clare-Aimetu said...

Thank you Astrid, any flower would be lovely

Thanks Ann, I think letter post is about two weeks

jocondine said...

I'd like to be part of this bouquet too (is it cm ? 3cmx3cm for the flower). Bises

Clare-Aimetu said...

Thank you that is so kind. It's inches so 3x3 in inches is 8cm x 8cm

This is a lovely idea, and I’d like to stitch a flower for you too Clare. I don’t have a pattern yet though!
Hugs,
