The Wildflowers Freeform Appliqué pattern is a joyous design from Jane MacDonald, reminiscent of a field blossoming into spring. It is perfectly complemented by our range of Japanese yarn-dyed saskizomemomen fabrics and kogin embroidery threads from Olympus. 

This pattern can be used to make a cushion, drawstring bag, table-runner or even the beginning of a quilt.
