New Project!
This was the beginning of a new block design as I was just starting the 2nd hooping. Here’s what the 3 blocks looked like once they’d been completed:
It’s been so long since I worked on a black background that I’d forgotten how dramatic a backdrop it can be. I added a corner triangle into each corner, and this block shows the squares pinned on, before they’d been sewn in place and then trimmed:
This next shot shows the table runner once it’s been sewn together. I like how it came out:
I outlined each applique shape with invisible thread and did my SID work. I used 2 of the PTD arc rulers to create a small frame in the center of each floral quartet:
…and then stitched a featherette in the center. If you view each featherette as 4 equal parts, it’s pretty easy to do this:
(Do you see that clear acrylic ruler foot? That’s the Clarity ruler foot and it’s available in our store here.) This last shot shows the completed featherette:
I haven’t gone any further than this, but I have plans!
Oh Patsy, this is so beautiful. I love it. #CreativeGoodness

Oh, Patsy — I just love this one. You know my affinity for black backgrounds. Is the floral design, including those chartreuse digitized swirls, available on your web site?
