Roadrunner block

I usually do my seams the very first thing but on Fitzy's block I'm saving them until last because I have some special ones in mind with SW jewelry for inspiration. Notice I did bring the image down into the block with the sign supports and repeated the shape of the "inn" with the cactus... The roadrunner will get his feet once seams are done... I did add muslin to her block so I could put it on a hoop...

My CQ stitchers were here today and there were six of us...  It is sooo much fun to have this group.  I share the RRs blocks with them and tell them that RRs not only provide me with new challenges, I get to handle and learn from others...  I do try to join RRs and time them to fit with other obligations but this time many were so late that they have all piled up at once. This takes from some of the fun for me..


Although none of my CA group are strangers to needles, all are new to CQ and I try to have some kind of handout each time... today I gathered samples of paisleys.  I hadn't done one for while and hope to find an occasion to do one soon as they are fun. In Victorian times they were called Persian Pickles... I love that term...

Love what you have done to the RR block! You made it so dimensional. The roadrunner is great and love the cactus!

I love your comments on how you approach the design of blocks you do. I learn so much from you. Gotta love the roadrunner :). The paisleys are neat too. I can't decide if the bottom right or the one just to the left of it is my favourite. Guess I'll just have to have 2. Wish I had a few more cq buddies but I'm just pleased that I finally have at least one.

block looks great, love the road runner he really looks as though he is running. Paisley designs are a design that never seems to date very nice

I'm sure Fitzy will love her road runner, and the cactus! What a neat idea. Hmmmmm, Persian Pickles! Gotta love that name.

ooh!!! What a wonderful collection of Persian pickles. That roadrunner is wonderful. I can tell that all your motif stitching has made you even more of a master stitcher.
