Embroidered Flower Motif 

Designed by J.Marsha Michler

Marsha has written terrific how-to books on crazy quilting, including the popular “The Magic of Crazy Quilting.” Her latest book (“Motifs for Crazy Quliting”) showcases specific spot motifs to use in quilting projects. These designs are suitable for wall hangings, wearables, and anything fabric-related — think album covers, sachets, etc. They are embroidery patterns that can be used in many ways.

We asked Marsha to share a special motif with Kreinik web site visitors. She created this rose motif from Kreinik Silk Bella, Mori and Serica. The result is a beautiful, heirloom rose—we’re sure it would take the prize in any garden scene.
