Stealthy marine life Love it, Terri I'm so glad to see you able to use your embroidery machine this time around very fun stuff.




So ever have one of those moments when you get a block all planned out lay out the pieces do the hand work then go to put it together and wonder to yourself why you thought a 14 inch block was a good idea? seriously I have no excuses. So I used as many of the pieces as I could and made a small version of my original plan and came up with this. [ATTACH=CONFIG]559167[/ATTACH]




I like it it's pretty but I was afraid it didn't showcase her fabric and I had mmmmmmm several diamonds left over so I made this one too . [ATTACH=CONFIG]559168[/ATTACH]


Then came Janice's awesome floral I knew it had ti be a grandmothers fan so I made the most traditional version of one on the perfectly matched creamy background and it just felt bland. So I added some decorative stitching on the blades.......[ATTACH=CONFIG]559169[/ATTACH]




ya I don't think I improved it at all either yes this possibly a case of just too much so I tried again this time going less traditional more pop and I like it much better. [ATTACH=CONFIG]559170[/ATTACH]


I hope both of you can use both blocks.
