Chatting With...


 

Monica Poole

What’s your favourite flower and why?
For me it has to be the frangipani because it is a summer flower – I love that time of year.

How do blooms inspire your craft?
They inspire me because they are so versatile and can be made with many techniques such as 3D appliqué, colourwash and my favourite technique, free motion raw edge appliqué which I like to call "Sketchy Appliqué".

What has been your favourite craft project that involved florals?
My favourite craft project that involved flowers is the Butterfly Bliss quilt, I appliquéd frangipanis amongst butterflies using the sketchy appliqué technique.

Is there a certain floral scent that brings back happy memories for you?
I love the smell of Jasmine in spring, it's a sign that winter is coming to an end.

Who do you love to spoil with a bunch of flowers?
Flowers are the perfect gift to spoil everyone with – who wouldn't love a bunch of flowers?!

What do you think it is about flowers that makes them so enchanting?
It's the miracle of nature that makes flowers so enchanting!
