This is the second in the Garden Girl series. I'll be starting on this block later today.

Garden Girl 1 Complete

I finished this piece last night. I always feel a bit sad when I finish one, I want to keep stitching! Thankfully, I've sewn up a couple so I can just move on to another one.



I've been asked about the pink flowers. The flowers are those little "forgetmenot sprays" that are used on favors for baby and wedding showers. In fact, I need to find some more. I ordered them years ago for craft projects and I've used quite a few of them now.



I just take them off the stems and attach them using several seed beads.

Complimentary Blackwork Design

Judging by my Statcounter, I can see that some of you are looking for the complimentary blackwork design I did last Summer as a challenge project.

I thought I would post the design again to make it easier for my readers to find. Click on the photo and that will take you to my Flickr site where you can download a readable version.

Enjoy!

I added alot to this block yesterday. The pink flowers are a bit brighter than I wanted but nothing else I had showed up on this block.

I still have some more stitching to do on this and will hopefully have time later today.

I'm off to visit my mom for a little while.

The first in a series of 3 Garden Girl designs, this block is 5 inches square. I started on this yesterday afternoon but forgot to scan it before stitching.

The white lace has sequins on it which gummed up my sewing machine needles pretty good but it's so sparkly! A little hard to stitch on too but the finished results will be worth it!

More later...
