Kim, I love it! Can't wait until it gets home and I can examine it closely. I'm interested in that striped needlewoven patch too, and you know I love the bunny and the hummingbird! It looks light and lively, and very much a garden scene with wonderful guests arriving.  I like the woven sun, too.

Thank you so much, Kim! You and Brinda have created a gorgeous block for me!!

[Kim Bradshaw]

Well thank you ladies!  The tree branch that the leaf vine is attached to (yes, that is a tree branch!...it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to) is raised stem stitch.  I shouldn't have made the branch so wide coming from the seam.  Brinda did an outstanding job with her crochet over on the right side.  I especially love the flowers with the metallic yarn (I guess that is yarn!).  You won't believe where I found the little birdie and nest branch...WalMart!...back in the bead/craft section.  Thanks for looking!

[Kim Bradshaw]

I plan to mail it off tomorrow Susan!  Tuesday.

[Susan Cuss]

Oh, good, Kim! Now I know when to start haunting the mail box. It might even arrive in time for Christmas! What a great Christmas present!!

Hugs from Suz

Raised Stem Stitch! Wow. That turned out very cool.  I really like it. I love the stripey effect that it got (from variegated thread, I'm assuming), and now that you mention it's a branch, I can totally see that, too. Awesome! You ladies are SO talented!

[Kim Bradshaw]

Yes, forgot to mention the varigated thread.
