Dryer Sheet Pansy Doorknocker

Well, I didn't get this straight on the scanner, but it's enough for you to see what I'm doing.

The background fabric is black cotton and the lace is vintage. I picked it up at a flea market last Summer.

I did 3 of these (I'm saving one of the pansy sets for a crazy quilt).

The next step is to sew them into doorknockers. I won't get to that today. I'd still like to get the border lace on the Shamrock CQ and I'd like to start on Garden Girl #3.

I finished this design yesterday so now I can move onto Garden Girl #3.

I can't believe that I didn't have more in the way of pink buttons. I have jars and jars of buttons but not alot of pink ones. The metallic buttons worked out well though and to balance them out, I added the silver tulip charm in the bottom left-hand corner.

I have alot of handsewing to do today but I hope to have time to start on #3 later.

Working.....

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!!!!

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.
