Wildflower Stitching...

2018 will be show time for patchwork group and mid-year the raffle quilt project was handed out - fabrics, floss and pattern. The quilt to be quilt-as-you-go blocks embroidered with wildflowers found in The Grampians (Gariwerd).

My wildflower was Grevillea Alpina.  We could use any embroidery technique/stitches we chose and instructions were to make-up the finished embroidery into the quilt-as-you-go block and hand quilt in the binding ditch and a little around the design.
Because I can't go to the weekly day group (I go to the day extended into evening which is held a couple of times a month) I didn't get to see all the blocks laid out, so I am looking forward to seeing all the different flowers in the finished quilt at the exhibition next year.

Happy Stitching...
