My current project

I got permission from Susan Brubaker Knapp to adapt applique patterns from one of her designs "Applique Petal Party" into embroidery (personal use only). This is how part of it looks so far. I'm attaching some rick-rack round the inside of the center block and than I'm planning on going back into the embroidery and adding stitches to the leaves.
