Garden Steps Block #1...done!

Last night I finished the embroidery

on block #1 of the Garden Steps Quilt Along :)

I'm sooooo loving this!

It's a good thing that Clara and Jenny

over at Clover & Violet

are making me wait a month for each

embroidery pattern,

because I'd probably spend all my time

on the handwork of this quilt and get nothing else done :)

I used backstitching to outline the design.

Then I used french knots in 2 colors for the topiary plants.

I used a satin stitch for the butterflies

and lazy daisy stitch for the flowers on the pots.

I used a french knot as the center of each little flower.

OK....time to get busy on my tiny houses quilt!

I mean.....laundry and housework :)
