Happy planning your gardens!

This spring banner is another seasonal addition to my previous St. Patrick’s banner. I will switch out the shamrocks for these flowers and birds.

I used the shape of of flower. You could use a cookie cutter shape and then the bird you may want to use this pattern I found here Lavendersbluedesign. You can use any cotton fabric you like, I used a textured muslin. For more information on fusible web instructions see my seasonal blanket stitch banner.

The reason for the avocado, is because I used avocado skins simmered in a pot of water for a couple of hours. You can find more instructions at Altering Thoughts. I put my fabric and soaked it until I got the color I liked.

Some other materials I used for flowers: fabrics; cream satin, tulle, and lace. I used a die cutter to cut out shapes of flowers but you could just pile these fabrics on top of each other. I used brads for the birds eyes and attaching the flower layers.
