This is the block as a whole. I have used the same threads as on the previous block and the buttons were from the box I received from Freecycle. The heart and butterfly embellishments were in my stash.
I used detached stain to secure this ribbon and sequin string. The ribbons look just like chain stitches themselves.
This line of detached chain stitches look just like footprints. The buttons are secured into the curves of the pattern.
These detached chain stitches had beads attached.
Here I used the chain stitches to couch the ribbon along the seam.
This seam had detached chain stitch flowers. I think this is my favourite seam.
I have really enjoyed getting stuck in today and being able to concentrate on stitching, so much so, I think I might try it again tomorrow. That is, if our new family member will allow me-we have a kitten joining us tomorrow, and from experience, they tend to take up a lot of time.
