First for Nat from Australia

Woo hoo! My first block was born! I'm so excited to finally put together my first Woo Crazy block. I love how it looks so far even though I don't have as many colors as I would like. My block is only 22" square because my foundation fabric was only 22" wide. My quilt is going to be smaller than the one in the book. I am happy with that.

I think this block is going to be a garden block with flowers, birds, and yes, hearts. I have to have hearts in all the blocks. I love hearts and maybe star or two.

I only managed to embellish one bit of it so far. I just love working with wool. I love the feel of the wool and I can be free stitching the motives down without too much accuracy.

A close-up of the stitching. I used my hand-dyed pearl threads for embroidery. The instruction called for fusible web applique, but I found that wool being quite thick it didn't work very well, so I will not used fusible web again. I am going to just use small pins to keep the pieces down while stitching.

Enjoy and I hope to see you on my blog

Hugs

Nat
