Framed Flowers, Free Applique BOM

Gingini is organizing a free BOM, called Framed Flowers.  It is an applique block that you can embellish with embroidery and pearls.

I used felted wool as a background , mine is a bit larger than the original, 15 x 15 cm. I did not frame the flower for the moment because I have no idea how many I will make and what to do with the them.   I made my flower in the Sue Spargo style using her embroidery stitches book for the embellishments.
