I made these goodies some time ago and it was a new technique to me. I had never seen FSL+Applique before so the first one was a bit of a challenge.
The purple fabric angel and star are scraps from my Brother's very first quilt!! I'm so proud of him and he's excellent at cutting, piecing, sewing.
Especially since he's never cut or stitched a piece of fabric in his life. LOL
The dark navy angel is made from one of my DH's father's tie. All 5 siblings will be getting one...maybe not from the exact tie, but from one of them we have.
The bow is scraps from some strawberry printed fabric, I've had a 100 years or longer. The musical angel is made from fabric I purchased a couple of years ago at Wally World...Walmart. That one is my DH since he's a drummer.
Anyway, I'm happy with how these turned out and enjoyed trying something different that I had never done before.
The design set is from OESD.
8944where is OESD? Is there a tutorial or video how to? These are just wonderful, & very unique! Would like to know if I could do this or not never seen anything like them!Are they REAL SHELLS? There big!

I'm now sure where OESD is, but know it's a "trademark name". My DH bought it for me for our anniversary. He knows now when any occasion is coming up to ask what I want for embroidery, whether it's threads, or designs. I always have a 'wish list'!!! LOL

These particular shells came from a shell pit where I use to live. The old gentleman and his wife had a small live bait shop and the pit was behind. Every so often I would go visit them and he always let me go dig and pick up shells. These are verrrrrrry old...but in good shape.
I hope you try this technique..I love it!!

Thank you again! I have used a lot of different fabrics for these. Years ago I made a bunch of throw pillow and had a lot of fabric left + scraps. I made my Mama pillows that she has to this day...sooooo I made her a couple of these angels with that fabric. Kinda a nice keepsake. I've yet to get mine made. LOL It's been a lot of fun to experiment.
