Lace
This seam is embellished with some lace which has a knitting ribbon woven through it. I then added beads which are almost the same colour as the lace. Both lace and ribbon was hand dyed by me.
Placement on block:
On block 12 this seam sits against piece 7 which adjoins pieces 6, 2 and 5
Dyes:
Procion cold water dyes for the lace and knitting ribbon
