With so much to stitch, design and finish, why do I have to take time to eat and sleep?
I didn't get any stitching time in yesterday so I don't have an update for you on my Garden Girl block today. But I am off to work on it now.
I just sewed the borders on the Shamrock quilt so the next step on that is to hand-sew the border lace on.
And I came up with something really cool to do with those "dryer sheet" pansies that I made! Will have an update on that project soon!
Stay tuned!!!!

Garden Girl 2 Day 3
A little more embellishing on this block. I added my signature, covered two more seams and beaded the lace and trim on the bottom left-hand corner.
I'd like to add some buttons to this block but don't want to overpower the roses. I'll have to try some different buttons and see how it looks.

Garden Girl 2 Day 2
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!
