I have another work in progress report but only one diamond block completed this week. I thought I would show it to you anyway. As usual click on the block and you will go to larger version.
As I explained last week my personal stitching has slowed a little because I am currently writing a course on Silk Ribbon Embroidery.

Online Crazy Quilting Classes:
Just a quick reminder for those who are interested in taking a class with me. You will find all my classes listed under the top tab imaginatively titled Classes online you will also find information on how online classes are run.
I love this piece and I’m intrigued by the silk ribbon embroidery class. Do let us know know when it is ready to go! Are the peach colored flowers made with lucite beads? You are so good at mixing media.
Hi, thanks for your comments on Dougall. The embellisher is proving to be a useful aid along side traditional stitch tecniques 🙂
Yum.
Such gorgeous texture and balance in this block!
