In the bottom of the block, I've added a jacobean leaf design, embroidered in pearl cotton rather than the usual crewel wool. A couple of shell birds, old bead fetishes from the southwest decorate the SRE fern fronds. Near the center, I've embroidered some daisies in SRE with some great narrow silk ribbon from the Berry Patch store in Niwot, Colorado!
I think this block will get more wheat, in thread embroidery this time, a butterfly and some oak leaves and another acorn or two before it's finished!
