Judy and I have finished Block #9 for our Antique Wedding Samplers. There was a lot of appliqué in this block!!
I used a little trick on the centre. I thought this bird looked a bit wishy washy so I drew over some of the lines with a brown permanent marker.

I'm linking up to Esther's WOW, even though I'm a day late.
Well done, great trick to enhance the design!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks! I especially like the ring of flowers around your circle applique of the bird.
ReplyDeleteI admire your work, and the result is worth it!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful Carole! At first glance I like the blue block, but again the red and green is simple gorgeous too! Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteYou girls do amazing appliqué, fantastic blocks.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love! Fantastic work ladies...
ReplyDeleteHey Carole!! My goodness! But you have been so lucky to get so much done recently! I have been very busy with family...two graduates and parties and such that go along with these milestones. Not much sewing from me lately, but I will get out my needle today! Thanks much for the inspiration. I am so glad to have time to visit blogs again! Love the way you did the stem with machine to save time. Can you tell on the finished piece? Nice time saving hint! Love your work. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks! I like your trick with the pencil - will keep that in my tips folder. Look forward to seeing more, Carole.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful block. Nice trick to touch up the bird.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric choices in your block, especially the little ring of flowers around the bird! So delicate and pretty! Well done touching up the wee bird. Isn't it amazing what a difference a little ink can make?
ReplyDeleteClever idea with the bird! I shall use this. Your blocks are lovely.
