The background is thread-painted, then filled in with free motion quilting. The petals and leaves were thread-painted on a fused base with two layers of fabric, then cut out and applied using free motion stitching. The centers were hand-beaded. I do all my free motion quilting and thread painting on a 1930s treadle sewing machine. More details are on my blog. http://vickisvintagestitches.blogspot.com/2011/03/thread-painting-and-dimensional.html

Great,  you have made the "for-get-me-nots" looks so delicate & fragile.  Very pretty.

Forget-me-nots are some of my favorite flowers from childhood, so I had to click on this pic.I love the way the flowers in the background are just quilted, with the ones in the foreground being more solid. Adds a lot of depth to the work. Would love to see some details of the piece.

Great job!

This is so pretty.... soft and lovely.... so realistic and artistic at the same time.

Makes me think of spring...  and Easter.
