Only a few more Splendids to go!!
2 Attachment(s)
But here are 3 of the latest. The first one was a real work out for piecing accurately of the orange circle and inner propeller ( this was my 2nd try of this block! I tried to use a permanent marker to "adjust" the propeller which was not the thing to do!!) The other of the pair is #89 and yes, there are my favorite bugs!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]566847[/ATTACH] This next one is #92 and gave me more fun appliqueing. I learned something else that is handy. After doing the blanket stitch around the leaves and buds it seemed very washed out. So I took some embroidery floss and threaded it through the blanket stitch! Easy fix and the look I wanted. Also I tried a "split" stitch for the scrolls - I used to do stem stitch but could never keep them neat on curves. [ATTACH=CONFIG]566846[/ATTACH] Hope you all have a project that is giving you as much enjoyment as this one is for me! |
WOW!
Beautiful job. A lot of intricate detail. Love the ladybugs. :-D |
