E-2 Serratifolia Month 12

Esther's Original from the SVBAQ

"The modern name for this plant is "fuschia" but the botanical name "Fuschia Serratifolia" was published in London in the book THE FLORIST, Vol I, 1848." ...Neva Hart

There are a lot of small stem pieces in this block.
You could embroider them.
I chose to appliqué mine - one piece at a time, adding the
final stem over the top.

Basted, ready for needle turn

Top stem basted over finished small stems.
I sometimes mix my basting thread colors.

The bud shapes are interesting.
I decided to keep mine like Esther's and
not redraw them.

My finished block

I hope you enjoy this block as much as I did.

Please check out more blocks on our Facebook page HERE.

Also, check back mid month for the link up and at the end of the month for the show and tell.

Happy Stitching,

Doreen & Dawn
