Encrusted Block Complete!


Well, after what seems like a loooong time, I've finally completed my Encrusted Block. What with getting my girls off to their trip and spending a week with my husband (alone!) not much stitching was going on there at the end...But I was true to my word and didn't cook one meal that whole week! We had Chinese, Indian, Japanese and Thai food - it was wonderful! And we actually saw a couple of movies that were geared toward adults! And my girls actually survived their airplane trips and came home alive! So many blessings....

I'm very happy with the end result of my block and also relieved to be done with it! Do you, too, get tired of a project if it drags on too long? Also, I always have a plan for the next project - why does the new one always seem so exciting? - maybe because you haven't started working on it yet and don't know its challenges...

Floral Spray


I've been working on this floral spray on my encrusted block. Some of my classmates thought my block looked finished, but I just think it looked "nice". Anyway, I wanted to place some motifs around the block to help its "flow" like we learned in Sharon's class. Just a few more things to do and I will consider the block really finished.

Seams done

Well, I've finished embellishing all the seams of my encrusted block, so now it's time for some SRE, buttons, etc. to tie it all together.














This is my latest seam treatment - I wanted to keep it kind of simple because I think some SRE will spill over it.
