As I said on Monday I was going to blog the progress of a block. Well there has be a little progress so here is the next shot.
As you can see most of the seams have basic stitches on them and I have started to add a second layer of stitches.
The feather stitch is topped off with two bullion knots . A version of threaded arrowhead stitch is at the base of the lace and I have to interlaced the herringbone with ribbon.
That’s the stage I am at now!
Looking very nice Sharon. I can see now why we started the seams first – it does give you more idea on where things are to go. Sometimes even I have a lightbulb moment…lol. Thank you for sharing and your encouragment.
This is absoulutely lovely! I read your blog daily and next year (as I have too many unfinished projects right now) I want to attempt to learn how to do this. I am already adding to my stash of fabric and trims. Thanks so much for taking the time you do to share so much on your blog.
Love the herringbone laced with ribbon… especially doubled… gonna have to make a note of that… maybe on my sampler!! ;0)
It’ looking beautiful Sharon. You are soooooo kind to share like this.
Thanks, Simmie
I think this is absolutely gorgeous. I love purple. I wish I had the patience for beautiful crazy quilt stitches…but when I try, the further along I go, the bigger and messier my stitches become.
I wonder what you will put in the largish purple space in the upper right…that would be the biggest design challenge to me.
