This block was stitched with wonderfully named "Raspberry Parfait" thread from The Gentle Arts Sampler Threads. (It's hard to know if the colour or the name holds more attraction with some of these threads!)
I like stitching in one colour, and with these threads being variegated I still get a bit of interest with the colour . . .
I really like the way this block has turned out. It's certainly got a bit more oompha than the first block (colour-wise), but I'm happy with both really. The first block hasn't photograped all that well - it does look much brighter in real life . . .
I'm still keeping with my endeavor to use supplies that I have on hand and am looking forward to using some of the lovely reproduction fabrics that I have in my stash with this bed runner - I'm planning to make a runner for the end of the bed (where the cat in our lives seems to spend a good portion of her days). She's a bit of a quilting companion, so this will be in honour of her!
It seems like such a long wait until block 3 next month . . . I guess I'll just have to find something else to go on with - something from the long list of unfinished projects!

You could always make Klosjes in between your stitchery blocks?????
Your block looks fantastic Sue! I think I will have to find me some of that Raspberry Parfait thread. It's beautiful.
The thread looks lovely and so does your block. I was tempted to do these but have too many other things on the go! Bronwyn's drawings are so special. I have stitched many of them over the years.
Beautiful stitchery Sue. I agree with Sue-Anne, yes join in the fun with Klosjes. I did, but nothing to show off yet. I changed my colour theme and will use the ones I made for mini quilt. Have a great day - Hugs Nat
PS: Do all the patterns have cat it them?
Hi Sue,
Thank you very much for your visit on my blog! I see your second bloc, it's already finished and sewn, it is fantastic! I don't know how to make the patchwork, it is very difficult for me to choose fabrics. I shall come to see your following blocks.
Cheers
Cathy
