Here is Darlene's Nekid Asian RR block. It is another of the Round Robins organized by CQI. I am the first in the RR to work on this wonderful blue block inspired by a willow pattern plate. I love blue so this was a delight for me to work on and I have a nice selection of blue threads and beads in my stash. I began with a patch of Edmar Frost feather stitches and added a couple of lazy daisies to each stem. Then I added two rows of herringbone with sequins and beads in the spaces. After that, three fans in different shades of blue Edmar Frost, mostly lazy daisy and beading. Next came a white bullion chrysanthimum with clear bead leaves and navy stems. And finally a row of buttonhole with a pearl in each space. The final photo is a of all my work on Darlene's block.
