Place the Peekaboo Peach quilted flower square outline cut out upside down on one side of a Silicone Craft Sheet. Cut a Stamping Sponge into quarters and clamp the triangle edge of one quarter in a large binder clip. Squeeze a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on one corner of the Silicone Craft Sheet. Dab the sponge into the glue and then lightly onto the back of the quilted flower square outline cut out. Flip the quilted flower square outline cut out over and adhere it to the Pumpkin Pie square so it is centered.
Lay the Peekaboo Peach/Pumpkin Pie quilted flower square in front of you. Without adhering them, lay cut out pieces from the Peekaboo Peach, Calypso Coral, and Melon Mambo quilted flower squares into the square like a puzzle until you are happy with the arrangement. Leave some areas with the Pumpkin Pie color showing through. When you are happy with the arrangement, pick up the pieces one at a time and put SNAIL Adhesive on the back and place them back inside the outline.
Once all the pieces are adhered, place the quilted flower square into the Quilt Top Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the card stock inside on top of a Cutting Pad on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place another Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Without adhering anything yet, place the strip of designer paper and the quilted square on the large rectangle of Peekaboo Peach.
Mount the "when life gives you scraps, make a quilt" sentiment from the Christmas Quilt Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Melon Mambo Ink Pad. Stamp it on the Peekaboo Peach rectangle so it is centered side to side and just below the quilted square.
Carefully lift up the quilted square without moving the designer paper strip. Make a little mark at the top of the designer paper strip in the center of the Peekaboo Peach layer.
Adhere the strip of Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper to the Peekaboo Peach layer so it is lined up just below the little mark you made.
Adhere the Peekaboo Peach/designer paper layer to the front of the Calypso Coral card.
Adhere the quilted square to the card front so it is centered over the designer paper strip.
Pick out the thread spool framelit from the Quilt Builder Framelits. Place the small Calypso Coral rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the thread spool framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the cardstock.
Pick out the needle framelit from the Quilt Builder Framelits. Place the scrap of Champagne Foil Sheets on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the needle framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush and Paper-Piercing Tool to remove the foil sheets.
Cut a 14" piece of Peekaboo Peach Baker's Twine.
Wrap one end of the Baker's Twine around and around the thread spool cut out several times. Thread the other end of the twine through the eye of the foil needle. Leave about 2" of twine free between the spool and the needle and leave about 1" of twine hanging out the other side of the needle.
Use a squished up Mini Glue Dot behind the eye of the needle and the twine going through it to adhere the needle to the card front so the point of the needle is near the center of the quilted square and the eye is at an angle above it to the right.
Cut a small strip of Dimensionals about 3/4" long from the edge of a sheet of Dimensionals. Adhere it to the back of the spool so it helps to hold the wrapped twine in place.
Remove the protective backing from the Dimensionals strip and adhere the spool to the lower right corner of the quilted square.
