Cutwork & hexagons

There’s some progress on my second block for Karen’s class embroider, embellish, create. First I appliquéd a few 2 cm hexagons. I have a few different idea’s how to embellish them so I’ll just wait a few days.

I also made 5 cutwork circles in the machine embroidered fabric. My embroidery was telling me for days it wanted cutwork circles there. I had to take a deep breath before I could cut the fabric!

I’m damp stretching it again before I add more stitches. There’s a photo of this part of my second block here.
