Block #7 of the Sashiko and Applique Sampler

Block #7

Moth Orchid

Here they are on the design wall!

What a pretty Bunch!

just two more appliqué blocks and I can

start putting them all together!

Two more Sashiko and Appliqué blocks completed!

Anthurium

Plumeria

the Plumeria block was a challenge!

I did not like the way the pattern had me do the pieces

so I ripped it all out and designed my own

Plumeria flower … the challenge was

the petals overlapped

so my first flow center did not come out so hot

but with a little pressing and a few 

strategically place beads I think it will be ok!
