Detail:
This is some cheap nylon lace which I have embellished with beads down the middle. Along the edges of the lace I have worked a line of French knots .
Thread:
Cotton – a single strand of stranded cotton for the French knots
What is the story?
This regularly published series aims to illustrate and document the hand embroidered seams, embellishments and decorations on my crazy quilt I dropped the button box. All articles are categorised in the projects under Crazy Quilt details which enables readers to browse back through the series.
Free Crazy quilt block patterns
In the process of documenting the seam decorations on this quilt, as I get to each block I am diagramming it out for readers as a free crazy quilt pattern. Links to these free pattern pages are listed on the CQ details FAQ page.

An excellent reminder that even the cheapest nylon lace can become inspired by a little bling (and a lot of French knots).
