Block 5 in ribbon embroidery

A long time ago, I think it was over a year, I started this project organised by Pascale in France on her blog "Journal d'un Atelier", and then the secondary blog for this project "Nature et petits points" which is the name of the project. I think she is very busy with lots of new realisations, but I am still behind on block 5 when she has published block 8. I intend to finish this, it will just take me time.

So here is block 5 in ribbon embroidery, and I have put a photo with a ruler so that you realise how small this is.

There is a basket of roses, some lavender and 3 butterflies.

Now on to the next UFO to finish.

Block 4 in Nature et Petits Points

I have finally done block 4, where 8 have been published, so still late. I enjoy it but there are just too many things I want to do at the same time.

I have started on block 5 already, but stopped as well. It will come in good time.

To follow other people's work, visit "Nature et Petits Points".

Here is a photo of my 4 blocks so far. They won't stay like this, but will be mounted with some fabric sashing in between.

Block 3 in "Nature et Petits Points"

I am late on this project, I think there are 7 blocks published, but it is not like I'm doing nothing, right!

So 3 days ago I felt guilty and started working on this little embroidery for the block number 3, and of course I greatly enjoyed it. You can have a look at the project led by Pascale in France on her website "Au bout des doigts". The explanations are in French, sorry for the english speakers.

The result is quite small so difficult to show in a photo. I have this dark corner but the colours are good, and the photo is not fuzzy.

There is some embroidery and ribbon embroidery. I had to check some of the stitches, not having done them before.

2nd block Nature et petits points

This is speedy for me, but I have finished the second block in our little challenge organised by Pascale, see previous post.

Maybe I am feeling guilty at already being late in following it.

This is ribbon embroidery, very pretty.

Is it a cherry tree ?

Some daffodils(fr:jonquilles) and grape hyacinths (muscaris). Ribbon embroidery and embroidery.

Shall I start on block 3, or rather finish other projects ? There is always lots to do.

1st block Nature et Petits Points

Finally I finished my first block in our new project directed by Pascale in France on her blog Journal d'un Atelier. She has created another blog just for that project where you can follow what the other participants are up to Nature et petits points.

I love this block, but just find it hard to get the time to do it. I kind of need to be near the computer to follow the instructions, and the lovely photos.

So I'd better start straight away on block 2, after writing another post to show my work in France.

And this was my block before ironing. Sorry I don't seem to be able to erase it from the post...
