The Madness Continues ...

This week I spent most of my embroidery class planning where I would place lace etc. Sophie suggested I work on all four blocks simultaneously, so that I could get a good balance of colours and textures.  I have started to add the lace and some of the ribbon embroidery. There still seems to be an awful lot of empty spaces to fill!

  6. I think your embellishment is lovely...and by the way, I live with THREE slightly mad Golden Retrievers! I spend a lot of time trying to remove dog hair from my quilts!
