Splendid Sampler - Blocks 1 & 2

Two blocks down - Ninety eight to go..........

Block one is four squares with snowballed outer corners. I used 'Heat and Bond' to apply the heart and chain stitched the border using the alternate green to each corner colour.

Now Block 2 was a completely different kettle of fish! So many small pieces and half square triangles to match up.  I am reasonably pleased with the outcome and now just have to embroider the feelers this evening (I always try to have some hand sewing for the dark evenings - do you?)
Neither are perfect, but they are completed and, in the big picture, hopefully my little 'errors' won't show too much.
Hope you like.

  1. Love how you did your heart with embroidery. And that second block is so crisp and sweet.
