More embroidery

I have a block of my crazy quilt left and working on it and here l have added a picture of each stage which is not planned. My creativity just takes over and decides what next.
I have used organza ribbon for flower and crochet maroon centre with gold beads. The stems and leaves are also crochet cotton. Found a easy way to make these lovely leaves. Anyone interested to know how? Just leave a comment and l will show step by step in my blog.

A Small Addition!!

I nearly forgot a small necessary addition a quilter always adds to a quilt and that is a spider and web. Its for good luck!  There are many such cute traditions in the quilting world that goes back many generations l am sure! Some of them long forgotten.

notes of all I want to stitch.
