Garden Steps :: Embroidery Extras 2

Questions? Missed a post? Find the index here.


I'll start off with a bit of an apology...I know block four is overdue, but I will be getting back on schedule!  Thanks so much for being patient and understanding, life is a little wild here at times.  I should have it ready by Monday, but, in the meantime, I thought I'd show the extra embroideries I've done for block three.

Some of you may not have seen the finished block three yet {I just realized I hadn't updated the post until today}, but here it is {and I've reopened the linky for another week...since I'm behind, that way anyone who didn't get to share yet still has time}:


For the extras this time, I just added a couple little lazy daisy flowers, a vine, and a few french knots.


I may go back and add a little more, but with such a detailed center embroidery, I thought less detail on the outer edges would be better.

Happy Stitching!

  2. So pretty! I really love the fabrics you chose for your quilt. I still haven't posted any pics of my progress so far: 9 quilt blocks pieced, finishing embroidery on block 1, and in the middle of embroidering block 3. Yes, I skipped block 2 for the moment. I got a little crazy with filling in the embroideries with colonial knots and satin stitching, so it's taking me a really long time. In fact, I satin-stitched petals on block 3 all the way from NC to ID by plane a few days ago, and still haven't finished. But I'm hoping it will be pretty once I'm done.

    This is such a fun project. Thanks so much for coordinating and hosting it for us!
