Gerry's block showed up to the retreat a little bare, so some of us volunteered to take it home and give it some more stitching. Here is what the block looks like now.

Stitching on Gerry's Retreat Block
Late September, I attended a crazy quilting retreat with some ladies from CQI. One of the things that we did leading up to the retreat was a round robin with fabric selected by the challenge leader. Boy was this fabric a challenge!
Gerry's block showed up to the retreat a little bare, so some of us volunteered to take it home and give it some more stitching. Here is what the block looks like now.
I added the fan at the bottom and did some stitching on a couple of the seams. I also added the spray of ribbon flowers at the top...which, now that I look at it, it looks like there really should be one more. I did send Sharon one extra, but it didn't have leaves. =( I also did some stitching on the center, adding pizzazz to the motif that was printed on the challenge fabric.
I hope she likes it!

Juli it looks really good....compared to not having much on it at all. Now that wide open space does not look so bare anymore...
I think I am the only one who loved that challenge fabric! lol It brought out the bags of beads - it was fun to add bling to. Looks like you enjoyed doing the same! This block doesn't look empty anymore. Love all your lovely stitching, Juli!
OMG! I just found this post and had just about forgotten about this block. I look forward to seeing it back someday. LOL.
