Trio of Dimensional Flowers - Pauline Ineson
Carnation
Whether you like grand florist’s carnations or pretty garden pinks, the frilly edges of this flower are very distinctive and rewarding to create in fabric. Pink is a favourite colour but try white, lemon or red. To make my carnation flower I used two fabrics fused wrong sides together and then edged the petals with an irregular machine satin stitch. You could use two slightly different shades for added interest. Try using a contrasting thread around the edges.
Requirements
• Background fabric, size according to your quilt block or project
• Fabric for the stem, calyx, leaves and petals
• Machine sewing thread, cotton or polyester, to match fabrics
• Rayon, polyester or cotton thread for satin stitch edging
• Fusible web
• Water-soluble stabilizer
• Cord or wool to stuff stem
• Toy stuffing for calyx
• Seam sealant liquid (optional)
• Embroidery hoop (optional)
Making the Leaves
1. Cut a bias strip from your leaf fabric about 2in x 4in (5cm x 10.2cm) and a 2in (5.1cm) square of fusible web (I used Steam-A-Seam). Iron the fusible web (remove one of the backing papers first if using Steam-A-Seam) on to one half of the wrong side of the fabric – see Fig 1A. Peel the backing paper from the web, fold over the other half of the fabric and iron. You will now have two layers of fabric with the wrong sides stuck together (Fig 1B).

Fig 1B
2. Using the Templates, draw around the carnation leaf shape twice on the double layer of fabric using an easily removable marker. Cut the leaves out on the line.
3. Thread your machine with the same thread on top and in the bobbin – preferably a rayon thread. Select a satin stitch, width 2.0–2.5, and adjust the tension so that the top and underneath look the same. You may have to tighten the tension slightly (a higher number) if your machine sets the stitch automatically (refer to Satin Stitching in the Techniques section). Sandwich the leaves between two layers
