The next block that I have worked on is Skyes block and I am now finished with it and ready to mail it out to Simona. I enjoyed working on this block and hope that Skye likes what I have accomplished on this block. The following is a list of what I placed on this block.
- lace heart with silver laugh charm
- beaded ribbon in black
- chain stitched half circles with chain stitched flower center with knotted straight stitch
- Knotted herringbone stitch
- feather stitch
- white silk flowers on two patches
- white silk beaded dragonfly
- buttonhole seam
- detached chain seam in zig zag formation with straight stitch
- ric rac with french knots and detached chain flowers
- ribbon with beaded seam treatment in pearl beading and black.
- paisley motif in outline stitch, detached chain and the center done in lacework
This block was a lot of fun to work on and I experimented with the paisley. I like how the center lacework turned out on this motif. Working in just a few colors really challenges your ability to work new ideas into a block. I am being stretched in this rr and loving it. I am trying new techniques with each one. All these blocks have a look of elegance about them due to the color theme. I can't wait to see mine! Happy Stitching Everyone,
Wendy
