Forest Friends - pattern

Four little windows in this design give you a peek into the forest and at the creatures that live there. Lynette has had fun making two versions of this design: one that combines appliqué and simple stitching that she then made into a pillow. With the other, Lynette has removed the applique and, in its place, added some of her specially designed hand painted buttons and then framed them in a sweet timber frame. Buttons available separately YB369 MR Owl, YB370 Crescent Moon and YB371 Toadstool Pillow size approx. 15” (38cm) square  Individual Stitcheries in frame approx. 3" (7.5cm) square   Pattern Only What You Need: 18” cream tonal print, background 1 (6” x 6”) square each of 16 coordinating prints, hexagons 1 (6” x 6”) each of 4 assorted prints for applique 18” x 25” backing fabric 5” blue tonal print, binding 42 x 1” pre-cut water soluble hexies or traditional paper hexagons Embroidery Floss, I used Valdani 6 strand floss #519 green olives, #154 antique gold, #511 black sea, #P10 antique violet, #P8 old rose, #512 chimney dust, #548 blackened khaki brown, #078 aged wine and #578 primitive blue Apliquick rods, optional Appliqué paper, optional 18” x 25” batting Roxanne’s Glue Baste-It, optional Fabric glue pen, optional 18” x 25” fusible stitchery stabilizer, optional 1 x large sheet of paper Double sided sticky tape Fine tipped fabric marking pen Lightbox, optional General sewing supplies
