This is part3. I use decorative stitches on the seams and a few little embroidery designs placed randomly over the blocks.

I don't really know.I started this one some time ago but had some other things to do as well, so didn't get to it very often.I also do quilts with the Log Cabin Angels and, although I like to leave that for Monday nights, I sometimes bring it home to do a bit because it can get a little crowded where we meet.Especially when the layers have to be pinned or tacked.If I didn't get side tracked so easily I would probably finish it a lot quicker!

Thank you.It will take quite a while yet before it is finished, but you guys will be the first to see it when it is. Flower for you.

9811Wow Ricky, das ist wunderbar! Sehe ich richtig? Wird der Stoff immer im Kreis dazugenäht? Viele Blumen für dich

Danke.Ja, du siehe richtig.Aber wenn ich ein bisschen genäht habe ,schneiden ich die Ecken? und nähe noch mehr an.I have just told Hilde that I sew it around the shape, then,when I have sewn a bit I cut the corners of and sew a bit more on.

Well, I thought it was.Then I looked through an embroidery magazine I had just bought and there it was!My idea.!So, I can't really claim it as my own because it had been done before.
