Description

Designer: Val Moore is from Cheltenham, New South Wales, Australia. Val has been quilting since 1976. She owned a quilt store in Sydney from 1982-88 and taught quilting (mostly appliqué) in her store. Her shop was one of the few in Sydney at the time. Since moving on from the quilt store she has been freelance teaching and writing for Australian quilt magazines. Since 1991, together with a quilting friend, Val has been annually taking a group of Australian quilters to the USA. Val dabbles in botanical watercolor painting, drawing and has designed appliqué patterns with Australian wildflowers. She is an experienced patch worker and appliquér who has produced many award winning floral quilts over the years drawing on her extensive skills as a botanic artist to create these true-to-life designs.

Description: Red Flowering Gum is a rough barked tree with dense foliage and prolific scarlet flowers which cover the tree for most of summer.  Some varieties produce white or pink flowers. The Flannel flower heads are creamy-white, sometimes tipped with green and the centres are a cluster of grey-green florets.  Leaves are scattered and are also a grey-green with a silky down-like texture.
Instructions are for either hand or machine appliqué combined with extensive hand embroidery to bring out the exquisite fine detail. General requirements and complete details for fabric and thread selecting are included within pattern.
