When I was wandering around In The Beginning in Lake City, I found a free pattern called Cabbage Rose. Patterns like this are used to sell a line of fabric. I absolutely loved it. So I bought a kit and got started. I was new to appliqué, but it was really easy.

The first layer is the leaves. I decided to make all six leaves one piece of fabric.

The flower is stitched on next and then the little center. I cut away the back when the fabric was too dark and showed through.
I brought this hand stitch project to Women's Conference and stitched during talks. I love needle-turn appliqué and made a couple of converts in my classes.
