Here's a link with some tips.

This Christmas card features 3 different baubles hanging on a pine branch. The baubles are appliqued fabric scraps stitched on to linen using free motion embroidery. The branch is embroidered in green thread. The fabric scraps will vary from card to card, but they will all be in greens and reds.

I was in the mood for scribble stitching. I wanted to make a few of these cute chickens...well, a few turned into a whole bunch 😆😅 These cards embrace the controlled messiness of “scribbling.” They are made with quality white cards, fabric, and bold black thread. Each one is free motion quilted ❤️ #springiscoming #springtime #spring #chickens #spring23 #handmadewithlove #sewing #crafting #craftshop #smallbusinesssupport #etsyshopowner #handmade #quilted #quilting #handmadecards…
