Lynette's Block
I have just finished work on Lynette's Block and have continued with the "pink" theme and the butterflies and flowers. I have worked some flowers in BDE (reminiscent of echinacea flowers) and added a pale pink glass butterfly bead and 2 Murano glass flower beads. For the seam I worked open chain stitches and filled the spaces with opalescent glass 5mm seed beads. I included a tiny pink signature in the patch as well. This block was a bit of a challenge as I wanted to work something that I have not done before and it sang to me of ribbon roses and beads and button clusters. I didn't listen to it's singing...I hope you like it Lynette.

Maureen, I have done a little bit before - a small Xmas stocking or two for friends, but I have done quite a bit of embroidery and I have plenty of inspiration from books, the web and all the lovely work I have seen from this RR. I am improving all the time. And Yes I do love the Edmar threads, though they do get in a twist a bit when I am doing the bullions.
Just remember to wind the threads in a clockwise motion Hope,and periodically "dangle" the thread to let it untwist to it's normal Z twist.
