Fabric Question

A couple people have asked which fabric is used for the purple flowers in this:
 

The name of the fabric is Petal Power by Moda




  

This is what a larger piece looks like.  Unfortunately, I bought it around 2006. I've looked online for it, but the only site I've found that has it is this one: http://www.quiltcorner.nl/view.php?catid=255 (hopefully that will work) Since it's not in English, I don't know if it is still for sale but the fabric seems the same though in different colors.

I'd love to have it in a bright pink if anyone finds some!

  1. Hi Donna, the link to the site you posted is to a Dutch online shop. The four colours that show up on the page are all they sell and they are still for sale.

  7. Masterful fussy cutting, Donna! Thank you for showing us the fabric and helping all to understand what/how you used it to create your applique pieces.

  8. Nicolette--Thanks for letting us know where that site is. As much as I love fabric, I'm not sure I'm interested enough in paying the overseas postage to get some--but maybe someone else is nearer. And KTJ (Anonymous), it is a wonderful pattern (thanks Kim!) I am using several methods to do my hand applique. Some I have "front basted", some I have used freezer paper on the front and basted it (like Ann does) and some I have glued the seam allowance back (I think like Pam does). And some pieces I've used straight needleturn. I'm still trying to figure out what works best for me--just trying all the ways different people on here have talked about. I think someone on here is machine appliquing their version too. So you just have to find out which one you like to do.
