For the past three years CQMagOnline has been honored to include patterns created by Diane Ricks. Diane designs for Artemis/Hanah Silk and has created this beautiful silk velvet rose. With the luxurious feel of the Hanah silk velvet and the wonderful array of colors available, I know you will love creating this uniquely beautiful rose.
First Rose:
-
-
Supplies:
- Silk Velvet "Hot Quarters"
- Buckram circles
- Needle and thread
- Silk Ribbon for leaves
| 1. Cut velvet into triangles. (From one "Hot Quarter" you can get 8 medium size roses) |
|
| 2. Bring the straight edges together, forming a smaller triangle. Stitch the straight edges together and gather slightly. |
|
| 3. Turn right side out. Place the middle of the velvet triangle on the center of the buckram circle. Begin stab stitching from the center out circling around the center arranging the "petals" as you go. |
|
| 4. When you have about 1" of velvet left turn it to the back and place a running stitch around the edge. Draw up the circle and secure with stitches. |
|
5. Place two or three leaves around the rose stitching from the back.
6. Add a pin to the back if desired. |
