Add another posie to your collection of flowers and make a beautiful wool applique project. Curly Jo is part of a series of 5" whimsical flowers created for hand or machine embroidery.  Applique by hand, embroidery module or mix the two techniques, embellishing to your hearts delight.  

Your flower comes in three formats:

1. 3B - Machine applique using a Three Bean stitch to outline the wool:  Stitch the wool to the fabric, remove the hoop, trim wool to stitching line and replace hoop in machine for next layer.  This is nice if you just want it sewn down by machine or want to add embellishments but don't necessarily want to sew it all down by hand.  It's fast and easy.

2. WS - Machine applique using water soluble thread. This stitches an outline running stitch. The steps are the same as #1.  When you have finished all of your hand work simply rinse the  project to remove the water soluble thread which leaves only your hand work to look at and enjoy.

3. A written pattern with a line drawing you may use to create this block using your favorite method of hand applique, embroidery and embellishing.
