Pansies for Y...

A few weeks ago at patchwork/quilting group friendship quilt blocks were handed out to create for Y...we were given a square of fabric she had provided for the background and asked to create a block incorporating pansies (and some purple) using any technique/method we liked.  I immediately thought of a pansy fabric in the stash to create a broderie perse bouquet...great idea except clearly I used that fabric in the distant past as it isn't living in the stash anymore....mmmm....now what?  A stitchery? Does my Tea Party quilt have a pansy block - yes it does! Winner winner chicken dinner.  I enlarged the original pattern (Tea Party "Paula" - Crab.apple Hill) to fit the size of the block requested by Y...

I was glad of needing to finish this stitchery as last week I had emergency eye surgery (sleep over at The Eye & Ear Hospital in East Melbourne) and when I came home had to hold a particular position until I saw the surgeon again at the beginning of this week, which meant I couldn't do much but it was just right for hand stitching...there had to be a positive out of the eye drama...

I hope Y likes her block and it fits in with the blocks she has received from other blocks...

Happy stitching...
