for January
is complete.
(Not a moment too soon either.)
I needed something in the
upper right corner, it
was a good place for
a button, bead and stitch
cluster.
I really like the mix of color
and texture.
The inspiration for my cardinal in the
tree branch came from my
backyard. I have decided to use,
"In My Backyard"
as my theme.
I will be featuring something
I can see in my backyard
on each block.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My TAST primitive
sampler has the first
4 stitches complete.
These stitches are my first
attempt at each stitch.
I want the sampler to have
an innocent,
informal look
to it.
Each stitch has a 1" x 2" area.They will be worked in a brick like pattern.
At some point,
I will add the title;
TAST
2012
to the center.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to work on my
Whitework Wrapping Cloth!
Love to all,
Deb

Very beautiful block Deb - especially the cardinal and the button cluster. Good job!!
Debbie Your block is stunning! I also love the cardinal and like the theme of in the backyard! Your sampler with the TAST stitches is going to be wonderful with the brickwork layout and the center emblem. Very nice work!

Your January block turned out great! I love the theme you have chosen and that cardinal on the pine tree branch is just gorgeous, as is every little detail on the block. Beautiful work!
your block is gorgeous ! I love it
EQUISITE !!!
I have looked forward to reading each post on your progress, this is so beautiful.
I loved that cardinal and the evergreen branch so much I had to add it to my Pinterest pinboard today. So if you see it running around on Pinterest, that was me (and probably some other pinners as well!) Love your embroidery.
Happy Stitching!

Just lovely Deb!
Your work is so impressive! I never tire of coming to your blog!
amazing!! and I adore your little bird.
Deb, I love how your blog came out. That sweet bird is the perfect addition and the cluster in the corner really finishes the block off. I finally posted mine today too. I can't wait to see what else is in your back yard (giggle). Great idea for TAST and your stitches look great! Hugs, Connie

That cardinal is just too much! I love it. What a beautiful block.
I am loving these clusters...so perfectly matched and placed and stacked...such lovely work...
Hi, Debbie. The red cardinal block is lovely. I really like what you did with the buttons as well. I hadn't thought of stitching a design onto/through/around them. Cool!
