I only met Helen thru blogging and she's been so generous both in her knowledge and in sharing her supplies....big thanks to you Helen 💐💐💐💐
I've almost finished Block 1 - all needle turn (although I did use some appliqué paper on the small pieces)
We are using Japanese woven material which I'm finding does fray quite a bit so the idea is not to fiddle with it too much, easy said than done with needle turn!
The embroidery accentuates the features and finishes off each piece nicely.
This type of quilting is more rustic than normal but the finished quilt is quite stunning and all hand worked which is so relaxing.
We are all meeting up this Thursday to start the next block so I'd better finish my embroidery ready to go again.....I'll keep posting each block to show you the process.
