My First Ever Broderie Perse Block

There are  no less than 20 finished blocks that are Broderie Perse, 3 applique and 5 that are simply a print square. The rest are pieced and a combination. I am using a Winterthur Museum panel from Andover. I got it from here.
I am not sure just where this block will land in the final layout. I used a heat-n-bond lite fuseable on the back and a  machine button hole stitch with matching thread. Not bad for a first try. I plan to use other fabrics and different techniques. Since this is a sampler, I can do that.

Two Completed Applique Blocks

I loved working on this block.

I might redo that center.

Or I might wait until I have a few dozen others made and see if it still bothers me.

In the meantime, I am away from home welcoming a new grand baby and only take hand applique with me when I travel. I will have to leave my good stork scissors behind because not all airports let them through security. I had to give up a pair in Adelaide Australia last year. The same ones that cleared through Toronto and Chicago several times. But here in Fredericton, you will have to give up your toothpaste and shaving cream, so I travel really light.
