This is the second
finished block for my tone on tone CQ. After patching the block I added knotted feather stitch and a cross stitched butterfly in the bottom left corner. Next I
added beaded triangular buttonhole stitch and alternating buttonholed cable chain. For the finishing touch I added bugle beads to the knotted buttonhole
stitch, secured the doily with transparent seed beads and added 2 stacked
buttons.
All stitches except the
cross stitch are part of Take A Stitch Tuesday, an embroidery challenge at Pin Tangle.
Bird's foot prints on fresh snow with sunshine - that is what I though when I saw this beautiful block. I had to go to Flickr and use the magnifying glass to fully see the delicate details.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenWell, the complete wal hanging will take some time. I only patched four blocks and finished 2 of them. I'm not sure how many block I want in this quilt yet.
