I haven't been doing a lot of stitching lately because
in the holidays the kids and I moved house.....
This is a pic of the little townhouse that we now call home....
The sewing room is half unpacked and I decided to do
some work on my "Town Hall" block the other night....
I only had to stitch the stems which I now have
and do the grub rose and lazy daisy topiary trees....
I had been a little stuck on this because bullion
stitch is not something I have done a lot of....
So after a bit of research on good old google....
I found these instructions....
Then it was now or never and I started my first rose.....
Ta Dah! Amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it....
Still looking a little dull waiting on some greenery....
I had best go as Alison and I are off to Carinda this morning
for a sewing day out on Saturday with some Carinda ladies.....
Have a great weekend....
Until next time, Happy Stitching
Kate

I thought I was the only person still working on this quilt. I love it....even the center block...but am working on so many UFOs......I hope to get back to this soon. You inspire me. I love the rose bushes....thanks for the stichery hint.
www.welovefrenchknots.com I think is another good instruction place for bullion roses. I have trouble with them and found that this way was very easy. I just have to do the centre block and put it together but am glad that others are a slow as me. They will look great when they are all done.
