Emiko さんのブロック Emiko's Block of Tradewinds DYB

一月中旬にEmiko さんのDYBブロックが手元に届いていました。考えてみると日本人の人のブロックを飾るのは初めてのことです。
I received Emiko's blocks of the Tradewinds DYB in mid January. I have realized this is the first time for me to work on a Japanese person's block.

どのブロックもロマンチックで美しくて迷いましたが、このブロックを選びました。
I picked up this naked block after long consideration.

とりあえずまずこのレースを使うことを決めました。

このハンドペイントのボタンはアメリカのジャッキー・リースからのプレゼントです。どちらか一つを使うことにしました。
These beautiful handpainted buttons are from Jakkie Lease in US.


作業を始めたのは一昨日だったのですが、始めたら写真を撮るひまもないくらいどんどん進んで、今日終わってしまいました。Emiko さんが気に入って下さることを祈って。
I have worked and finished all in these two days. I hope Emiko like this block.

Hideko, Emikos block is just beautiful. I love what you did with the crocheted piece. I always want to use something like that, but it never quite works for me. You have done a great job... the pressure is on now!!

You work is stunning! I love the bow on the crochet and I love the embroidery treatment you made on the lace! It is beautiful eye candy!

Emiko さん、
気に入って頂けてうれしいです。でも実はそんなに手の込んだことはしていないのですよ。色には気を使いましたが。ピンクとグリーンだけでは単調なので忘れな草のブルーを入れたのですが、このブルーと花芯の黄色に使う糸(結局25番DMC)がなかなか決まらなかったのと、SRE のバラをいくつ入れるかで少し悩んだ位でしょうか。ジャッキーのボタンはぴったりでしたね。

The block is beautiful Hideko.
You have worked your needle work magic on the block to create a beautiful finished block!

It was a beautiful block to begin with and you have done it justice. Your embroidery is always so pretty and delicate.
