I finished working on Nancy's Wizard of Oz block for the Fairy Tale Round Robin, and I must say, I didn't want to stop! I really had a great time working on it, but I wish I could just finish it up and send it back to her. I think Jaki and Susan would be terribly upset with me if I did though....HA!

Anyway, I wanted to share some pics of the block and the work I did to it!

Here's the block as it sits waiting for the mailman to pick it up:

Here I added the Cowardly Lion with his crown and the ribbon with the circles and the seam treatment above him. It is a row of Chevrons with 3 detached chains and a star above.
I love this button, and I have been hanging on to it for quite some time....but I guess every button has it's day and this one found it's way onto Nancy's block! This is "somewhere over the rainbow", with happy little bluebirds flying over it! I also did the seam treatment, which is a row of herringbones with a straight stitch running through the middle and a detached chain on the end of it.
Here I did the cloud and "SURRENDER DOROTHY". I also did the seam treatments, the one to the left is a row of feather stitches with 3 detached chains in green and french knots. To the right is irridescent white rick rack with a triad of detached chains and 3 straight stitches. There are also 3 different color seed beads in this seam treatment.
Here I did the Tin Man's Heart with his diploma from the Wizard himself! I also did the seam treatment below it, which is some light green funky yarn with different color flower beads.

I wish I could do more, I'd love to put an emerald city on here, but as time limits go...I've already passed mine, and well....it wouldn't be fair to the other ladies if I hogged it all!

The next fairy tale block I have to work on is 12 dancing princesses. I'm pretty excited about this one too, so I can't wait to get started on it! I also have my kitty kitty round robin blocks to work on, so I'm gonna stay busy for a while! Check back soon for more pictures!

Have a great day all!
