After adding the Friendship Band to the CQ block I thought the seam did not need any more decoration. So what to do? Well, you can always work with the
fabric in the pieces nearby. So I made some straight stitches on the Japanese chrysanthemum print and placed a pearl in the centre of each flower (not very authentic for a chrysanthemum, eh!).
Further more I added a decorative line of Beaded Hedebo Edge stitches along one other seam. Instead of just one bead I used two golden pearls.
To see what Sharon and the others who show what progress they have made in their various projects are getting on click

Love the band and the decorations.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Nice variation on the beaded hedebo edge - I like it very much
ReplyDeleteI joined TAST for the purpose of learning new stitches to add to my QUILTS and this is what I did this week. After 41 weeks I have learned so much and have a wealth of new tricks for my quilts. Thank you, Sharon!
DeleteQueenie I think how you have added to the flower works so well and the beaded hedebo looks great with 2 beds, these tast stitches are a great way of learning new ones.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more, Margaret. TAST has changed my way of quilting and whetted my appetite for doing more embroidery.
DeleteWow, Queenie, great work with the fabric and great use of the hedebo edge stitch! This stitch was completely new for me but I think I will use it often now.
ReplyDeleteI too, fell in love with the Beaded Hedebo stitch and will absolutely use it again.
DeleteI like the flowers and the beaded Hedebo variation.
ReplyDeleteClever idea to use the fabric. I am very curious how the whole block will look.
ReplyDeletePlease be patient, I am working slowly and will EVENTUALLY post a picture of the completed block!
Deletemaybe not authentic but a beautiful effect~!!~
