Flower Fairies-Cathy's

Wow, 2 posts in 1 day.  Going off in today's mail are Cathy's Flower Fairies. 

The fairy is sort of hard to see.  But I worked on the Lilac Fairy.  I added another sprig of lilac and a cloissone butterfly, and some fairy primrose silk ribbon flowers on the left hand side.

 

This was the block that Cobi worked on, the Willow Fairy.

 

This the the block that Ritva worked on, the Yarrow Fairy.

  

This was the block that Marci worked on, the Chicory Fairy.

  

And this was the block that Wendy worked on, the Apple Blossom Fairy.

These were all such lovely blocks, and a pleasure to work on.  I think Cathy will be pleased.

Flower Fairies, Ritva's block

This week I had the pleasure of working on Ritva's Flower Fairy blocks. I chose the Rose Fairy to work on. I added a little ribbon skirt, and enhanced her wings a bit, I also added some fine curly yarn for her hair and couched that down and featherstitched over it.
I added the beaded seam and the hand-dyed dragonfly and the reddish looking lace above.

I also added a spray of rosebuds.


This is the whole block I am sending off.

FLOWER FAIRY RR -Wendy's block

Can you tell I am waiting for work to be dictated this morning? Before I left on vacation, I finished working on Wendy's flower fairy block. I have a bunch of pictures sitting on my desktop that I was waiting to blog about, but didn't have time before I left.



I do not generally like pink, but have been trying to collect more ribbon and thread. I really liked the way Wendy's Flower Fairy came out.

Flower Fairy RR-Marci's block

This week I finished up Marci's block for the Flower Fairy RR. My picture is atrocious. I have to figure out what I am doing wrong and start getting better color representations.

This RR was one in which we send six 6" blocks around and each person chooses the one they want to work on. I chose the Lavender Fairy. I hand-dyed the daisy trim and the butterfly. I I extended the lavender out beyond the silky of the fairy in the center.

FLOWER FAIRY RR

I am sending off blocks for a new round robin this morning. This one is for Flower Fairies. In this RR you make 6 blocks, and the 5 participants get to choose which one they want to work on. You get 1 back at the end to do yourself.

I purchased my Flower Fairy silkies at Evening Star Designs Designs, where you can get them printed up 4 to a page or 6 to a page. I chose the 6 to a page. She even has a new Flower Fairy Club, where you can get some each month or every other month, your choice.
