Marilyn was reserving judgement as she liked the old bridge and pond... But the lace bridge was far too heavy and I had used Edmar thread on the pond. Although it had a nice sheen it too was too bulky... So I am anxiously awaiting Marilyn't approval of the new pond and bridge.
The new bridge is lacier and I used a fine single strand of silk for the pond... When I redid the path it went where I already had foliage (far right center) so now that has to be picked out for a gate and I hated the door the minute I finished it and it has to be picked out...
Haven't figured out one of the worst problems... Lower right I drew on the silk with permanent marker when I did the design... Of course the design has changed and now I have this scribbling in ink..... I have a couple options..
1. Do a large clump of lavender which seems out of place....or
2. Paint this cottage on a MOP button and position it over the scribbling..
Have many photos from class and lessons but will be a few days...

Here I am - we're having a sane quilting weekend at the Seniors' club so I haven't been home today. Got a quilt done - one off the list. Yes, this bridge does look better. I'm just glad there is still one there - I was worried you weren't going to have one at all. I know this is so not in keeping with your theme but I just keep seeing your frog button down on the bottom (grin). Failing that I think I'd like to see a cottage button. Or some rocks....or a bunny checking to see if any of the flowers are edible. Okay, I'm going away now to rest. I've obviously passed into silliness from sewing.
this is looking so very pretty, my thoughts went to a little rabbit to cover your pen marks
This block just gets better and better. The new bridge is perfect. I like the idea of adding plants in front of the fence anyway. A few pebbles and maybe a bunny is a great idea. I like that better than a button...if you extend your foliage across the entire fence with a few breaks here and there, it would be nice. Then crop your block in to cover the remaining pen mark. This piece is adorable!!!
My goodness your work is beautiful! I must become a follower! Hope you'll come visit me too at mcreatesdaily.blogspot.com and preciouscottage.blogspot.com Marlynne
