Right off, I'll admit that this month's Snowflake Sampler block was supposed to be a coffee pot, but I decided to change it up a bit and instead, made a "Flower Pot." I kept the block size the same - 21" x 21", and used the same stitches, just altering the design into a diamond.
I feel just a little naughty for forgoing the proposed design, but I think this will suit my desired finished project better. Plus, it was fun to kind of make things my own.
Beautiful design and stitching! I like how the embroidery gives texture and depth.
ReplyDeleterules were made to be broken! beautiful block
ReplyDeleteI think that making the choice for a change to make the design suit your desired finish project makes a lot of sense (as a non coffee drinker, the block would have been a stumper for me, too).
ReplyDeleteI like the way it is a cross design. Nice. I think Grandma Jeske would be right there stitching with you--changing it to suit her own design. She would love this! :)
