Geez, between Flickr and Blogspot, I've had one heck of a time trying to post today!
I wanted to share an update with you on my Garden Girl 2 block. As you can see, I did some ribbon embroidery. Quite challenging on the seam lines! The spider web roses aren't bad at all because they're woven but trying to pull the ribbon through all those layers to do the leaves was rather time consuming!
Speaking of ribbon embroidery, I've been asked to do several ribbon embroidery designs. The challenge there for me is that I usually freehand the stitching on my crazy quilts but this time, I actually have to draw out a pattern and then stitch it according to that pattern. Which I'm off to do now. Wish me luck!

Garden Girl 2
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!

Garden Girl 1 Day 2
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.
