I've been making these for a week. I'm using them as scatter centerpieces on the tables for our guilds Spring Banquet, which is on Thursday. As the program/education director it falls to me to plan this event and as someone that lived on Whidbey Island, WA and in Seattle , I thought it would be lovely to share the flowers of the Skagit Valley with my Illinois quilting sisters. Thanks for this wonderful pattern. It's elegant in its simplicity, just like the live tulip.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Yes! The Skagit Valley is a beautiful region to honor with these fun fabric tulips! Thank you for watching and learning along with us!

[@BuildAQuilt]

Well, the guild loved the tulips. I plan to make more for myself. I've sent them to your website for the video and pattern.

[@paulab6684]

These are beautiful tulips and really enjoyed watching the video.

I printed the pattern yesterday, and glued it to a piece of cardboard, cut it and now I have a sturdy template. Thanks they're very beautiful and will start making them today 😊

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+Mari A what a neat trick! Thank you so much for watching and sharing that with us!

I love it , thank you for the video!!😊😊😊 I'll try to do it right away👍.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+Lilí Vázquez that is so exciting to hear! Glad you were inspired by our tutorial!

[@RebeccaJoyner]

We call seam ripping "frog stitching". Rip it, rip it... :) super cute! I've made the fabric chain and going to try the stars soon, and maybe this right after that. I used the fabric chain to decorate our hay bale this fall and we've gotten lots of compliments on it!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That's an adorable name for it- and makes it less painful I'm sure ;) Thanks you so much for watching and commenting!

Love that sewing machine

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank you!

[@daisyr.8320]

Bummer! Mine turned out really limp. My husband was teasing that I’d made dead flowers. 😝😝 Stuffing the stems took me forever. I’ve had success with other Shabby Fabric tutorials so I’m off to try the tablet cover.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Oh no, sorry to hear that! Hopefully the tablet cover turned out better for you! - Morgan

Hi. Your projects are beautiful and adorable. Can I get the direct link to the rainforest and purple fabrics you use in this video? I am looking but can’t find them. Thank you!

We're happy to hear that you like our projects! It looks like the Fossil Fern collection, which was used in this video, has been sold out for quite some time now. We do offer a wide selection of current fat quarter sets that you are more than welcome to browse here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Fat-Quarter-Sets-C88.aspx Hope that helps and happy sewing! - Beth!

You can use long needle nose tweezers to pull the bud through the tulip flower.

+D. Moore that is a great idea! Thank you for watching and sharing that little tip with us!

Dear Shabby Team Greetings from Rio. Could you please inform, what is the recommended measure to make the stem? Many thanks in advance for your response. Warm regards! Ana

Hi Ana! The stem should measure 2½” × 10½”! Thank you for watching! - Sophie

[@trudythomas5036]

maybe if you put the wire in the stem, you can bend it to arrange in vase, also if you use thin wire in leaf it would hold up better on the stem. a pair of tweeters would work to bring it thru the bottom

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+Trudy Thomas what a great tip! Thank you so much for sharing that with us and for taking the time to watch our video!

Obrigado por assistir! - Sophie

[@terrihuff]

I inserted 9" x 1/4" wooden dowels into the stems before stuffing so they would stand better.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That is very clever! So happy you made this project :)

[@terrihuff]

Thanks, almost finished (daughter for Mother's Day) - I do think that if I do more I would add fusible fleece or a heavyweight fusible interfacing to the leaves. Thanks again for the tutorial!

[@Marisol9111-w3p]

What brand of sewing machine is that? I love it!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That is a refurbished 1939 Singer Featherweight!

What do you use for stuffing stems?

can you please do a video on how to make the little white fabric box near the pink sewing machine? And also thanks for this, my favorite flower is a tulip. Have a good day...

[@janicecroft2304]

It's a square usually 2 layer cakes 10x10 with wadding. Make a mat ie quilt top and wadding together add back stitch around and turn through. fold at points and stitch. you can stitch the pieces together first then quilt either way works.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+Alleta Smith stay tuned! We have a video tutorial for that coming up in the next couple of weeks! :)

could fill it like a Sachet so they would smell good and maybe use hot glue just a little i'm going to try

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+Mary Hannah what a clever way to think about it! Thank you for watching!

[@tutsecret499]

I love your videos. I don't want to teach the priest how pray. How about you try to flip, turn the leaf the opposite side so that the seam gets totally hidden. And won't need to worry how you sew the end of the leaves.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That's a great tip! We are always open to learning new and better ways to do things :)

Why do you choose to do so many things off camera? It’s a KZbin video. If I don’t want to watch a certain part just a simple double tap takes me to the section I need. There are so many steps as a beginner sewer that I would have loved to see but needed to figure out on my own. I used interfacing on the leaves so they stayed in place. Worked so well! I also tucked the leaf before I sewed it so I didn’t have to struggle with it like you did and it looks much cleaner. I noticed that some of your completed flowers were a little floppy so I put dowels in the stems through the flower to keep them upright. It would have been nice to see you actually stitch the flowers on the machine and more tips about the hand stitching. When you say “to save time” does that mean your own time? Because we can just skip to where we need. Thanks for the idea.
