After a couple of torturous months I have finally finished this....
So relieved to have it done...now onto block six. So much stitching and I realised when photographing it that the I have appliqued the butterflies in a way that doesn't match the flow of the writing on the fabric. Oh well that's life.
Here is a sneak peek, but only a peek mind you. It is an Anni Downs design free from her blog.
Just had to show these gorgeous flowers. Mum brought them for me for Christmas. They are still beautiful and only one has fallen off the stem. I am enjoying them while I still can.
See you at the end of the week for my Christmas Item...
cheers

I love you sneak peak ....... I am stitching the same thing :o)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous orchids! love them. Your embroidered butterfly block is just beautiful. Don't worry about the flow of the writing etc. I always think that it's comfort for the pedants to look at my work, if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteOf course I always love your stitcheries.... this one is just as awesome.... and the Anni Downs is looking good. Your orchids are exquisite - those colours and the flowers are so precise...

Beautiful orchids to match your wonderful sewing.
ReplyDeleteYour butterfly block is gorgeous, it can be hard seeing the end in sight with lots of stitchery - I feel that way about the Vignette blocks! I love the sneak peek, I was thinking of making that pattern soon too!
ReplyDeleteHello Marina.
ReplyDeleteGosh that orchid is divine. You could just about use it for a embroidery design.
Happy days.
