Hello there.
Today is Wed and I am posting the progress made on Block 5. It isn't much because I am having a rather difficult time trying to figure my way around this blog process, but I did do a bit of stitching. Here is today's view.
This is where I added one of the motifs from the Adventure. In the bottom, right corner you will see a beautiful motif made by Nicki Lee Ravioll. If you haven't seen her work, I believe she sells on Etsy. This is a stack of various dyed laces with a bird and some pearls at the top of the motif. This made me think of "The 12 Days of Christmas" (a partridge in a pear tree?) so I thought that would be a good theme for this block and I embroidered the words in the middle. I am left handed so I work from right to left (some say backwards) and you might have noticed the 'Christmas' in the previous view of the block.
As I said, I am still trying to figure out this bloggings stuff so I didn't get much done this week but I have high hopes for next week. It is supposed to be very, very hot here this week so Cobi (my grand-dog) and I might just sit in the air-conditioned room and stitch.
Enjoy!!
Maureen
This will be a lovely treeskirt! Great idea to use CQ for it.
ReplyDeleteHi Maureen! Welcome to blog land! I love what you've done to the tree skirt - all of your stiching is wonderful! WOW what a surprise to come here and see that you received one fo the motifs that we swapped out at the CQ Adventure. Wasn't that just the best time ever!!
