This is one of the 'embroidered bits' from Leanne's House BOM... Unfortunately it didn't scan 'true' so the fabric looks like an even weave when actually it is like a calico...
This is actually my 'trial run' quilt... As I have never done anything like this before I decided to use some other material and make the quilt block for block - the plan being that I could try out my skills before actually making the 'real' one if that makes any sense... So the theory being that I would in fact end up with two quilts... My 'trial run' and 'my real one'... LOL - I am confusing myself here...
Has it worked you may ask? What you see here, plus another 1/2 embroidered piece and a needle turn heart is all there is - of the first block - I am now waiting for Block 5... The best laid plans - at least I won't be bored when (if) I ever retire...
As you can see the embroidery is a little rustic - but after worrying myself about it I concluded that when it is a part of the whole quilt, would those stitches be that carefully examined - after all I making it to be used, not as an exhibition piece to be 'turned over' with white gloves...
