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.
Well done.
Nice variation on the beaded hedebo edge - I like it very much
Queenie 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.
Wow, 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.
I like the flowers and the beaded Hedebo variation.
Clever idea to use the fabric. I am very curious how the whole block will look.
maybe not authentic but a beautiful effect~!!~
your stitching is drool worthy~!

I 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!
I couldn't agree with you more, Margaret. TAST has changed my way of quilting and whetted my appetite for doing more embroidery.
I too, fell in love with the Beaded Hedebo stitch and will absolutely use it again.
Please be patient, I am working slowly and will EVENTUALLY post a picture of the completed block!
Thank you.
