I love it when I have a project that I don't want to put down. January's block was like that, and is pretty well finished I think.
 |
| There is an empty piece of pink satin at the bottom, but I may use that space to embroider the name of the person (me) there, maybe using waste canvas. I haven't decided whether to put the names on the block, on the sashing pieces, or on the back. |
 |
| SRE roses and leaves on the left, and some beading on a really nice piece of lace |
 |
| Velvet ribbon flowers and lots of cast on stitches using one of the Colour Variation Perle 5 threads. |
 |
| I found this lacy looking embroidery in "Bead Embroidery Stitch Samples" by Yasuko Endo. I used a #10 crochet cotton. |
Diane, this is just beautiful. I would like to have seen a few more close ups.
