Lately I've been working on block 10 of the Ladies of the Sea quilt by Sue Garman. I haven't finished the entire block yet, but already I've found some places to add some special touches. Here's a picture of the cornucopia on the block without any embroidery...
And now I've added a stem stitch to the red and green apples, a small satin stitch to the bottom of the pumpkin stem and some straight stitches to the top of the oranges...
It didn't take a lot of time, but I like how it looks. What do you think? I also added some detail to the Mayflowers on the block. Here's before...
And after I added a turkey stitch to the centers...
I'm now working on the actual ship, the Mayflower. I don't know if I'll find any areas to add to here because the ships are already pretty detailed. But I do know that I'll keep an eye out in the future for more opportunities. For such a small time investment, I think the embroidery adds a lot to the overall look of the block.
P.S. If you haven't read Sandra's blog, I'd recommend you take a look. Especially if you like applique as much as I do!
Until later...
Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God, but laid aside his mighty power and glory, taking the disguise of a slave and becoming like men.
Philippians 2:6-7 (LB)
