WIPW - Starting the Embellishing

Work In Progress Wednesday today shows you how I have started embellishing the

Crazy for Crazy
light blue block.

I have followed suggestions in Sharon Boggon's book

 on how to place the pieces, and embellish the seams and empty areas.

I will not disclose here the 'tricks of the trade' I have learned from the book. Instead I highly recommend you get a copy. It is a good investment as the book is easy to follow and full of inspiration.

 I am glad I can use a lot of the TAST and Sunday Stitch School stitches in this project. MAYBE it will be a target - to use as many of the about 200 stitches as possible.

In the picture above I have made pink flowers out of Looped Cretan Stitch, then added Berry Stitch leaves in green with a blue centre. The blue thread was also used to whip the stem of this rambling plant.

More and different types of embellishments to come.

Till next time.
