The past few days I've been embellishing a 6" square for the English Garden RR I joined on CQI. This RR requires each member to piece six 6" blocks and each person in the RR embellishes one completely and mails them on to the next. Since there are 6 of us in the RR, at the end there is one square left for the owner to embellish. I will post photos here as we go along.
This square is owned and pieced by Marya Blackwell.
this is so pretty Maureen, she's going to flip when she sees it in person I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, this is just beautiful. Marya is going to LOVE it!

ReplyDeleteI love your ribbon work...You have a beauitful sense of design and placement!!
Stunning Maureen! I'm fairly new to CQ and am wondering how the delphiniums(?)blue/purple flowers. Looks as if you have gathered ribbon and added beads??
ReplyDeleteLorraine, It's nice to write that name again - it was my Mom's name too. The delphiniums (you got it right!) are not gathered ribbon. Draw a straight line for the height you want each flower and work back and forth over that line. Each bead you see has just a loop of ribbon underneath, and the bead draws it in. The bottom part of each flower is 7mm ribbon. As you go closer to the top, use 4mm and finish off with double wrapped French knots in either 4mm silk ribbon or thread. Easy Peasy!
ReplyDeleteThis really has me thinking Spring...
