I didn't want to start a new sewing machine project Sunday morning at the retreat so I pulled the Darlene Zimmerman embroidery panel I brought along and started another block. Looking back in my blog, I see I started embroidering this panel in 2017!
I'm trying to finish projects the rest of this year. This panel has been languishing for sometime in the embroidery project drawer but now I have a purpose for these blocks, time to get them finished!
The embroidery has started on the last block, hopefully that will be completed by next Sunday.

I love your embroidery block woweee what a lot of lovely French knots though!!! Adds whimsy and texture!!! Are there more floral vases in this panel or is it just the 1??? I assumed more since you said you started in 2017
Thanks for sharing your imaginative stitching finish !!! Kathi
Your embroidery is gorgeous. I can't imagine wrapping the floss around the needle 8 times, but those French knots really make those flowers look fantastic.
This is so lovely, Gretchen.
Glad you finished this beauty.
Such a pretty piece! I love the variety of stitches, especially the french knots, they really give the piece texture! Have a great day!

That's a lovely embroidered block and now you are stitching the final one. I can see another finish coming up soon.

Beautiful hand work Gretchen! I think I remember when you were working on this one. Hugs
This is really pretty, and I like the colors you’re using.
Don’t know why this says anonymous. It’s LuAnn
Really pretty embroidery piece. Your stitches look so good. It has a sweet vintage look.

Very pretty embroidery. Good luck with your plan to finish things off this year.
Gretchen, your embroidery block is GORGEOUS!! I wish I could do that! That's a lot of French knots!! I'm so happy you got it out of the UFO drawer!! Can't wait to see the finish! Thanks for linking up with Monday Musings!
