QBA Row by Row

For the Quilt By Association Row by Row for August, I tried to do some embroidery as suggested in the 120 Original Embroidery Designs book by Yoko Saito.  I did not get organized soon enough and I had to take the project back to work on an additional week.  That is not how Row by Row is supposed to work but the lady that I was to exchange with was not at the meeting.  I was able to get the row to her at a different meeting the following week.  I must say that I lucked out.

Paula C. asked us to join the rows together.  Her intent is that she will have a completed quilt top when she receives her rows back.  Here is what her quilt is looking like when I returned it:

I did the bottom row of 2 inch square together to represent a season.  I tried to make the end (winter) more blue but I don't know that it worked out too well.

Embroidered Square Wave:

Embroidered Chamomile:

 Threaded Running Stitch:

Embroidered Small Stars:

I did have fun doing the embroidery on this project.  It may have been doing too much work for an exchange though.  But I used it as a jumping off point for another project (WAV analogous colors challenge) so that is always good.  Must keep learning and growing!
