Wendy's First Block Finished!

Wendy finished her block last night! LOL She couldn't put it down and kept coming back to work on it! LOL Oh yeah she's totally addicted now! I really think it is stunning! I taught her what I've learned from the Encrusted CQ with Sharon B.
I love how she trailed the pearls from the button/bead cluster.
I also love that pink button, it brings the pink around very nicely.
This seam treatment she saw in one of the Judith Baker Montano books, and I told her about the element of surprise with how the flower beads kind of blend in but when you look over the block a few times you suddenly notice them and are pleasantly surprised. She loved the idea!
Here is her stunning SRE motif all finished! She just took off with this! All I had to do was show her the stitches and some photos of motifs and she just ran with it!
I am so excited to see what she will do next!
