This one is entirely created using straight stitches, with the addition of either beads or French Knots

    I looked through some of the quilts in 'Road to California', lots of them, yes.

  4. Amazing what you've done with straight stitches and I do L♥ve French Knots too.
    Fun clicking on your links MA.
    My mixed media art group will enjoy seeing the thread spool ideas.
    We are planning on altering some beautiful silk thread spools a friend shared with us.
    Happy February oxo

  5. Block three already? Wow! Lovely seam treatments you have designed and stitched. I was without internet and phones since last weekend and am trying to catch up. A lot happens in blogland and social media.

  6. You are designing very nice charts for the stitches and each looks just right on your blocks. You will be finished all the blocks before you know it, at the rate you are going.
