First I could see I was going to have another tiny corner patch difficult to seam... So I edged it with a piece of ribbon the same color (see arrow) which I will embellish and bring the tiny corner into the block. Two pieces of braid on here I bought in a sari store in Auckland NZ years ago so they have a special meaning to me.
What I like about putting braid or a ribbon on a seam is that you are really creating another seam to embellish.. Even though there will be no motifs I hope to create a very richly embellished piece...


I found a picture of a small piece of Indian embroidery using the colors I chose and set it against the purple for you to see. Aren't the little fat paislies just precious? Somewhere I have some of those little shisha mirrors as we used them in a challenge last year.

Love what you're doing with the block Gerry! It wasn't til I got home today from my favorite needle art shop, that I noticed the templates I've been saving for were Carole Samples! I love them, and will be putting them to use, starting tonight.
I'm here and getting caught up. I always read oldest post to newest first...I'm loving this journey so far and I can't believe how lucky you were to go to Australia...I think me and Australia would get along famously but we haven't yet met...
