I've been admiring these little fabric flowers on Craftster and people's blogs for a couple of months now, and was really happy to find this blog post about them.

Now I need to find a book about how to make them! Jamie and I were dreaming about where we would like to go for a holiday overseas if we could ever afford one. I'm thinking I want to go to Japan so I can buy craft books and needlework gadgets <VBG>

Edited to add: I found a website with links to tutorials!

Edited again to add: A series of in depth tutorials. Click the download link for each one to save them.

Edited a third time: You can just assume that I'm going to keep editing this post with more cool stuff until I post the next entry. K? :-)

Jujulovespolkadots has posted this very cute tutorial in her typepad gallery thingy. You may have guessed that I'm obsessed with flowers at the moment. You'd be right...
