Season to Season Share - Fall

~~~Updated~~~ 10/13/07


The Season to Season Share block I received to work on is Helina's. It is such a lovely lock, and it was almost intimidating to begin, but once I got started it flew right along.







This is Helina's block after I finished working on it. These scans wash out the color a little, but it is really pretty. The first thing I stared adding was the tree. Next the gold arrow stitches, the brown fan stitched seam, the fan, the small stitched seams around the central motif, the spider and web, the buttonhole along the green seam, and finally the mums around the tree base. I hope it stays in Helina's fall plan.




This is my fall block after Helina's contributions! She added silk ribbon flowers on the upper left, an over and under buttonhole scalloped seam with heart beads, and other beaded seams. Isn't it lovely? I haven't received it back yet, but from the picture I know it will certainly be a knock out in person. Can hardly wait to see it!

This is an updated picture of my Fall swap block.


I finished adding leaves to the tree, and believe I can stop now to give my partner a space to work.

I thought I was half finished until a took a picture earlier, then realized it wasn't close enough. So I'm working on this tree now. I'll update again before sending it off to Gerry.




Gerry from the CQ for Newbies group is hosting a new swap - Seasons. The one we're working on now is Fall. This is my blank fall block. We are to embellish half the block, then it will be forwarded to our swap partner to embellish the other half. Lots of the other ladies have already made and embellished their halves, and it's not due to Gerry until sometime in August.
