I know this one has a pattern on it but I am happy with it. It wont show through to the front.
Here is task 3 & 4
I am happy that I only put the darker fabric in twice. Hope this is ok... My fabrics are only scraps and I think go together well... Fingers crossed...
Task # 5 was to collect sequins, beads, ribbons & charms.....
I picked up these bargain silk ribbons...
This was my original collection.
Task no. 6 was to start stitching.. I have limited coloured threads so hopefully I have worked out a balance. I have added a little bit of glitter thread to bling it up a bit. It is more of a subdued colour range than others have done.
The overall block is done for this task...
Seam no. 1 & 8 still need beads. I love the purples in seam no. 9.
Seam no. 2 will get beads added later. Seam no. 3 has different thicknesses of threads and I also mixed them up with 1 or 2 wrap French knots.
Seam no. 4 still needs filling in. Seam no. 7 has some silver thread to lift it a bit more.

Your block looks great! I really do want to try this someday. :0)
Oh my!!! Your stitches are just perfect. LOVE love love those purple flowers. Great hand work!
I almost didn't check out your blog as your pic on the Freshly Pieced WIP post wasn't all that interesting but wait...there's more to this block of yours. Had I not stopped to look I would have totally missed a great looking block and I must say I've never seen such embellishments before. Are you making more to make into a quilt or something else? Very nice. I'm glad I stopped by.
WOW Jo! Your block is looking wonderful.
Jo your blocks are just gorgeous and yes the purple is very pretty - such neat work and what a bargain hunter you are.
Love the purple flowers and glad that there are some butterflies in the charms.
Wow, what pretty embroidery!

It is just gorgeous , you do beautiful stitching !!!
It's gorgeous. The couple pieces of darker fabric add a little zing. Beautiful stitches. I'm definitely going to have to try this class later this year.
Your crazy quilt block looks great! It's really fun to see what you've worked on this week for the course.
Love CQing. Gathering things together is almost as much fun as stitching!
Looks amazing. Very soft, gentle colours. Your embroidery is really lovely. xo
