In more pleasant news, here's block 13!!
I like the way this block came out... I haven't looked at in a week and I'm rather pleasantly surprised.
Here are a couple of closeups of some of the nicer seam treatments:
On the top right is a mirrored buttonhole stitch done in #8 perle cotton and then some Caron Watercolours variegated pima cotton. Mirrored buttonhole stitch is a great stitch... it gives such a nice little swoosh at the bottom between the up and down parts!
Here's a really nice one... I like it a lot!
On the left is a cretan stitch done in the same #8 perle cotton and variegated pima cotton and on the right is herringbone stitch (with extras). I'm really keeping my palette limited on these last few blocks. I really want them to blend together.
Back soon with more... thanks for hanging in there with me, ladies! Love ya's!

I really love this palette. I'm not sure I would have any fabrics in these colors but I really do love how they look -- they look like coffee pearls to me...I love the two seams on the bottom picture too...it's good to hear what you're up to!
It was well worth the wait, I love these blocks. The stitching is so pretty
Just perfect! I love that arch-looks like you tacked it down. Very pretty!
You and Jo Newsham of NZ have the most perfect stitching I've ever seen...just awesome! This block is just ultra elegant.
I so hope you stay feeling better, Marty. My DH has IBS too and it is a challenge, that's for sure.
Ooooh, more shimmery loveliness. Your stitches are divine. Hope you're on the mend. My sis has IBS and it's no picnic.
Those are just lovely! I'm sure I'm going to copy one or two of those seams.
I love the perfection of your stitching ! My goodness !!! You must be a very calm woman :) I can see it in your work ! Best Wishes
