Heritage Quilt - Blocks 8 & 9

Block 8 is a very busy block with hardly any space left for quilting.  It consists out of a lot of pre-embroidered elements combined with satin and organza ribbon.  After everything was stitched to the block, some more embroidery was added.

Whilst completing the block, I discovered 3 pins still stuck inside, so I had to unpick small areas to get them out.





































Block 9 was a fun and easy block.  I enjoyed the ribbon threading with just four embroidery elements to add although each took 75 minutes to embroider.
