Appliqued flowers for Judith, Pat's hairdresser

I didn't realize how large these flowers are until I had it finished to hang up for photos.  Wow.  That's a lot of petals to stitch down.  Each one was cut out of two pieces of fabric, stitched wrong sides together, then turned inside out to get nice points.  Then machine stitched onto the background

This is for Pat's hairdresser, and each of the background fabrics have some meaning for her.  Sewing patterns, a dictionary, music notes and scissors.  Quilted with a background fill of meandering spiral waves and veins in the petals of the flowers.
