My Block Came Home

Stacie and I agreed to do each other's block. My block came home!
I forgot to take a pic of my naked block before I mailed it out. silly me.
But here's what it looks like now:






Isn't it fabulous?!







The theme was creepy crawlies


Stacie created a garden setting with a water feature


delightful flowers











I love the hint of an arbor and the climbing roses that wind their way across the block top and down the sides




I love that spider!









a dragonfly, a beaded tree, and fabric flowers

















lots of little plants, and critters skittering about












I even have a frog prince on a lily pad





Do you suppose if I kissed him, he'd turn into a real Prince?  lol





Stacie has added a  delightfully light touch to this CQ, and I loved how she included a water feature. Beads and thread waves carry my frog prince ever closer.......

Thank you so much Stacie. I so enjoyed our 1:1 CQ RR. It was a bit of a challenge for me, but I certainly LOVE my block!
Hope you're having a creative day.

Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz

    I can tell how thrilled you are with this Sue, it is lovely. Is it the start of a quilt?

    It might be, Shirley.........I have a CQ block with a garden theme coming home to join another completed one (a gorgeous one done by Nicki Lee ) and now this blue block with creepy crawlies..........I have more pink and blue blocks to complete, so it will depend if the components go well together whether I have two mini quilts or 1 pink and blue, larger quilt. Thanks so much for asking!

    Beautiful block! Such a lot of detail in such a small space. I applaud those of you who can do such wonderful work.

    How were your concerts? It sounds like fun.

    Stacie did such wonderful work on my block: I just Love it!
    I'm afraid I missed the second concert: side effects from the antibiotics....sigh, but I hope to make the next two!
