I'm still working on these nature blocks....still having fun with them!
Almost done with this Raccoon block. I was going to do a little thread work on the raccoon body, but not much else to add. Making dragonflies and Cattails was fun :-) Not totally happy with the yellow water lily.
The Iris has a lot to be done on the block yet. I decided I would embroider bugs and butterflies and such around the flower blocks, but I did put a vine with a couple of types of flowers here....Morning Glories and Scarlet Creeper.
I just started the Carolina Wren tonight. I still have to add the beak and legs and maybe work on eye and wing and tail feathers. He may be my only bird with legs. Somehow he just seems to need them. I just noticed that I have a photo of a real wren on my sidebar almost opposite this photo....how appropriate!
That leaves me just one more to do the applique....a Day Lily. Then the rest is all embroidering until I decide they are finished.

Mary, just now remembered this...and am down in the basement on my netbook so not getting the full view...but oh, I think that wren is wonderful! Soon as I get this load out I am going to get to my big laptop and take a good look.
Lorelei stayed Monday night and we took her home yesterday...it seems so lonely without her once she is gone.
I love how the raccoon block turned out! They are all looking so good!
Thank you Rose and Marie! I am doing the final touches to all the blocks. Will sew them together soon...I hope!
I love all of your quilts. The raccoon and wren are really special.
I also love your November UFO, it has a serene Japanese look about it.
I like also the applique to balance and interest the runner.
