Needle Lil More Time To Sew: 100 Details For 100 Days - Day 19: "This tree is part of a small pictorial quilt I made while living in Japan. The first cherry blossoms in all of Japan appear in January on the island of Okinawa, the southernmost prefecture. I guess you could say spring comes early!
My cherry blossoms are 4 mm hand-dyed ribbon with French knots and are anchored with seed beads. The trunk has various colors of cotton floss and perle cotton using chain stitches and stem stitches. The appliqued background pieces are hand done in very close buttonhole stitches."
This is such a pretty use of beads, I had to put it on the blog!
Keep smiling
