Good Morning Quilters!
This week I worked on more blocks for the Cousin’s Walk quilt. There are 28 bird blocks and each block has a different bird in a different small tree. Most of the trees have a few leaves and two or three flowers. One of the block patterns I worked on this week had a tree with 15 leaves. After appliquing 8 leaves, I decided to stop there and not add 7 more leaves. Here is the block:
It had only 4 leaves, which made it much easier. I am nearing the end, as I have only 4 more bird blocks to finish out of 28. But, the borders are very busy with lots of flowers and leaves, so there is a long way to go to the finish line on this quilt. I have started on the borders a little bit.
Also, The redwork embroidery is finished on 3 more dishtowels. Here they are:
:There are only 2 more designs in the set. They are so cute, I may do some of them again when I am finished with the last 2.

Those Cousin's Walk blocks are beautiful. I don't blame you for cutting down on the leaves for the first block. It looks good as you've made it. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteThat was a lot of leaves for that block, it looks just fine as it is. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThe dish towels are really cute! Your applique blocks are coming along -- I like that you're using prints for the background.
ReplyDeleteyes indeed dish towels so darn cute...
ReplyDeleteOooooo I love the embroidery designs! I want to do all of them for myself. I like designs in this style from the 40's/50's
ReplyDeleteThebird block is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteMy great aunt always embroiders tea towels and other things. I've always wanted to, but haven't gotten to that yet.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, your towels and blocks are lovely. I understand not wanting to have all of those leaves on the block. Thanks for the party!
