It's finished! This is the Making Memories Breast Cancer Block that I began a week or so ago. The naked block is shown in a previous post. This was a lovely block to work on. The fabrics were mostly rich satins, of white and deep cream. All the embroidery had to be in pastels, and that is what I did. First I beaded the centre motif. Other seams in the photos are a chevron seam, an up and down blanket stitch seam, and a row of chain stitches with straight stitches and beads addded. I tried a stitch I hadn't used before, the double knot. I embroidered two paralell rows of double knot stitches and each row is laced with cream #8 perle. I also used two rows of cretan stitches, added lazy daisies and wrapped again with #8 cream perle. Below that seam there is a button and bead cluster which fitted nicely in the bottom corner.
