Ruched Fabric Flower Tutorial
At the International Quilt Show last week I saw a Baltimore Album quilt with lots of appliqued flowers. There was one flower that caught my eye. The attendant {there to make sure no one was taking photographs} told me it was called a ruched rose. I looked online to see if there was a tutorial, but most of the tutorials made the flowers with ribbon. Start with a strip of fabric that's about 1.5" wide and about a yard long. This is it! It reminds me of zinnias or, if done in orange, a marigold.

Sweet Peach - Home
It's a funny thing- if you live in Atlanta and mention Revolution Doughnuts among friends, there are always a few people who start salivating on the spot. They shout out their favorites, "the Almond Joy Nut,"... "Nutella Cream Puff" or "Raspberry Sprinkle," and all this enthusiastic talk of scrumptious doughnuts reminds you how good this place really is. Maria Moore Riggs has always loved to bake. And so, with all of her savings and a lot of hard work, Maria opened Revolution Doughnuts in Decatur, Georgia during the summer of 2012. Maria is also a smart business woman. And the Baked Cake has a texture like a pound cake or a muffin. What she can guarantee is a fresh, delicious doughnut that is made from scratch that day. When I visited the shop, it was an all girls day in the kitchen. One of their most popular treats is the Caramel Bacon doughnut. As spring has just sprung, keep an eye out for the Fresh Strawberry Slider and then in the summer, the Peach Slider.
rolled paper flowers {tutorial} |&jones design company - StumbleUpon
Welcome to flower week – five days of simple and delightful flower projects. I could probably do three weeks of flowers because there are so many different ways to create them, but I’ve limited it to five of my current favorites. Before we get started, let me make a few disclaimers: 1. 2. 3. Okay, so let’s begin. Here’s what you’ll need: :: paper {either cover or text weight} :: florist wire :: scissors, pencil, glue gun STEP ONE: cut irregular circle This circle is approximately 8 inches, but you can do any size you wish. STEP TWO: cut spiral Start at the outside edge and cut in a spiral fashion to the center. I like a sort of bumpy shape so that the petals end up a bit irregular If you aren’t so sure about your cutting skills, feel free to draw your spiral before cutting. To add a little interest to my bouquet, I used a variety of yellow scrapbook papers {my favorite is that yellow dot} STEP THREE: roll your blossom start at the outside edge and coil tightly STEP FOUR: release coil
