It's from the same company that created our wonderful Wildflower embroidered quilt - Smith Street Designs. This quilt is named "Tulip Time".
I think there a couple more large floral blocks like this I need to embroider and construct and then I can start on the smaller embroidered blocks, then the rest of the piecing begins. There are 6 different floral blocks. It's been so long since I gathered the fabrics for this that some of them I have no idea where they came from but I expect I'll have to add more:). Some of the fabrics though, I liked them so much I've also used them in other projects too.
I even found a new pair of those squeezy scissors that are perfect for machine embroidery applique - it's like I was made to find them after finding this UFO. I found at least 3 other UFO quilts that I need to finish up. Some have machine embroidery but not all. I figure if I work on them a little each evening that's good therapy and the bonus is I'll be finishing up some of the old projects. I even found a bag with fabrics and all for the first mystery quilt retreat that Suzanne held! I didn't know I still had that one.
This was like a mini vacation, spent in my sewing space. First real sewing therapy for 2011~ Ahhhh

Your embroidery looks awesome! I really like your fabric choices. Committing to finishing those UFOs is great. I've got a few myself!
That block is really cute...love Smith Street Designs. Isn't it fun to clean out the sewing room....I did mine a few months ago, reorganized fabric, and I gave Bob two bins of fabric!
Boy there seems to have been a lot of cleaning and purging going on in the sewing world over the last few weeks! Can't tell you how many ladies have come into the store telling me that they have/are cleaning their spaces.
Love your color choices here. The green ombred stripe is wonderful on those leaves. Glad you had a good restful long week end doing what you love. You certainly deserved it!!
