I have finished my block for April's entry into the Crazy Quilt Journal Project.
This one doesn't seem to have as much embroidery on the seams...but i did do some waste canvas stitching in the sections. i like this one a lot. i actually wound up taking some stuff off after i looked at it...and switching to something else. LOL as you can see...this is the green section.
I found these birds with flowers and thought it would make a nice middle. they were colorful on their own and didn't need my help.
The coral colored half suns is a waste canvas design. it seemed really bright until i put those blue french knots in there...that calmed it right down. another waste canvas design is the variegated blues at the bottom with the dark green stitches crossing at the corners. i really liked doing that one. i also added my initials and the date to this block.
The leaves on these flowers is some trim that i found and just cut it down for individual leaves. the flowers are silk ribbon. to the left is a little green hand button with a heart. on the right is tan rick rack couched down with a brown thread...and pink silk ribbon buds and dark green leaves. the green ribbon flower in the middle is something i found online.
Yet another waste canvas stitching here with pale green silk ribbon...2mm. then i added little pink french knots and pink straight stitches. perhaps i need a flower or something on the top of those straight stitches. that's probably what i was going to do and forgot. LOL i'll probably go back and add to that. funny how you don't notice things until you take a pic of them.
Over this velvet corner is a heavy green braid and a pile of buttons. the braid actually had tassels hanging but they kind of got in the way and seemed superfulous so i got rid of them. i like it better without the tassels. but i have another piece of this and will add it ...with the tassels...to a piece in the April section.
I like the little flower garden under that....a pink silk rose in the middle...a pink feather flower on the right (i made that up..hahaah) and some blue french knots in the sprigs of grass on the left.
Wow...i really love waste canvas...this little pink triangle was made from silk ribbon. the dragonfly seems at home there.
This blue piece had that flower stitched into the fabric....i just over stitched it with embroidery thread...and then added the button caterpillar. i love him.
A closer look at the initials and the stitching on the bottom.
And a closer look at my little garden. the rose even has thorns.
I already have the 8 blocks finished that will surround this one. just need to add some trims to them and piece the section together. i expect to have it finished tonight...and i'll show you
Later
