Here is another ditty for you all to see
The block was one Helen Thorkleson gave me a while ago when we still met as a group in Bellview
She brought us a lovely big bag of goodies
as I remember
in it was a block I think she was planing on using as a picture frame
Then never got around to or lost interest in
So lucky Me got it to play with!
So I dug through my silkies and came up with these two
Since I couldn't decide between them I used both!
so with a little bit of lace
and a few beads
I went to town
I finally used some of the Shibbori ribbon
I have lying around (read; dug up from organizing)
I have only partially finished this block,
Enough to display it at least. I still don't know what to do with it though.
It is a lot bigger than I am used to 13"x16"
and an odd shape.
As you can see there is a little bit of everything here
even some wired flowers
I love using variegated thread with small french knots
Silk ribbon roses and flowers
For that romantic look
It ended up a little bigger
And a little blobbier than I intended
But that is also part of it's charm
For me at least.
