maggieszafranski OFFLINE Posts: 694	Judy-Great block! I love the embroidered inset! Things like this are making me want to get an embroidery machine! Nan-Your block looks great! The great thing about the BOM is that you can take your time to work about problems and details! Maggie in E. Central Illinois, nursing a sore shoulder today. That's what I get for doing housework instead of quilting!

Nanguilts OFFLINE Posts: 192	Thanks Ritzy...Appreciate your help...I just uploaded my August block. I didn't like the light green stems I used for the baby breath, so I found some crewel embroidery yarn and I couched over the stems. I will add the beads after I decide which four blocks I will use for a wall hanging. Thanks again. Nan F.

Yes, you need to use a very thin needle made for beading. Some of my quilting needles have been small enough. I will say that even with a beading needle, some glass beads will still be to small to get the needle thru.

dogquilter OFFLINE Posts: 535	I uploaded my August BOM, needle turn block. I used the embroidery feature on my Bernina 640 to to the flower in the vase. I used stem stitch and French knots for the babies breath flowers. This was a fun and easy block. Bring on September.
