Tulip - #16 August

Brooke Atherton is creating a healing wall at the hospital.  She asked people who have been touched by cancer to create a square for the healing wall.  Keegan used colored pencils to color on his 2 1/2" piece of muslin.

I thread painted or free motion embroidered a tulip.

The piece of muslin started out as a 2 1/2 inch square.  By the time I had put this much thread onto the square, it was reduced to a 2 1/4 inch square.

I also did not know what to do for the binding or edging to finish the square.  I ended up just sewing over the edge with a zig zag stitch a bunch of times so the batting wouldn't get out.  It was fun to do.
