I am going to try and blog more often in 2014 so I thought I would start practicing today. This is the block I did for Sue in the Stumpwork RR. The wattle is Acacia Pycnantha the Australian floral emblem.
I did a course with Arlene White and adapted her hydrangeas to my wattle flowers. The leaves are woven stitch. Most wattle have little leaves but this one has long strap like leaves. The fabrics Sue used were beautiful but really challenged me as the colours are not me; this being said I am fairly pleased with the result. I intend to keep on now trying to learn to create more stumpwork embroideries.

    That is absolutely gorgeous! Your more autumn-toned colours play very nicely with her grayed tones...it's great!

      Pink and Grey the colours of the Galah one of Australia's native parrots. This is why I felt the Aussie flowers were appropriate
