ITG Round Robin- Debby's block
Debbie's block has been worked on by three people so far and one more to go after myself. The challenge of many round robins is to make a block have cohesion since there are so many stitchers working on it with their unique styles. I must admit, that this is one round robin block that has the 'flow'. I think it is beautiful.
I thought it could use an embroidered motif so decided upon the vintage looking bird and embroidered him in Pearl Cotton 12. What garden would be complete without a bird? I did him in a very pale color because I didn't want to take away from Jackie's beautiful seam embroidery and swag above it. 
It is strange. I hadn't done any stitching for months and couldn't make myself. It seemed my creativity was choked. It is horrible when you want to stitch but you can't find the inspiration to do so. It seems lately that things are just happening naturally.
I had been saving this little plastic button that I had recieved in a swap for ages. It is about one inch wide and a half inch tall. I only had one and was waiting for the perfect place to put it. I better get searching on ebay to find some more. =) I hope you like it, and your block Debby! I think I am finished! There are two patches for Melissa to work on and two seams.
She is going to love it! Everyones work is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe block is really beautiful and does seem to hang together well. The bird is just perfect in the garden. I love your angel. The placement on that lace is just the best idea. Very pretty block, and she will be so lucky to have it back. If I see any of those angels, I'll let you know. It's nagging at me that I have seen them somewhere.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
