OK. I'm done for now. There are so many things that I want/wanted to do to this. Up in the left hand corner where the lizzard is, I have a sun dial or bird bath in mind to place there. I DO NOT like the pathway going east. I think I'll try to bury it under some bushes or flowers or... anything.
This is my first time to try "rocks" in my landscapes. I really like them, but found out that I need to make them smaller so that they will look better.
My sense of direction with this block says that it's all screwed up. The planter rocks below the tree look alright. But the pathway rocks............. I don't like the two different perspectives. I didn't allow myself enough time to work it out. I've done them before and been very happy with the depth and whatnot.
In the tree, you can see where I have started some green leaves. The tree is by no means done. It needs more branches to cover the eastbound walkway. In the upper right hand limb you can see where I plan to place a bird's nest with eggs.
I haven't done any seam treatments yet. I was going to do flowers and more flowers on the seams, in the beds, up the tree and so on. You get the picture, I'm sure.
I'm not real crazy (ja ja ja) about ribbon embroidery, but if Malla, my partner sees where some would work, she's to go for it.
I'm sorry that I didn't get my half done. Malla by no means needs to think that she has to finish what I've got started.
I know that this block seems real drab, blah and so forth. I planned it that way so that the flowers in different threads and styles and types would show off. This is a "dirt" block.
OK, need to get it ready to post. Have my directions right here as to what I'm to do. Wish me luck in finding the stuff I want to include.

The most important thing is that you got it done and on the deadline. I'm SO PROUD of you! This is the start of a lot more stitching in your future -- my crystal ball says so.
I really love it...I havent tried a landscape block..I like the look of the rocks. The tree bark is really cool.how did you do that? How did you do the rocks?..great job...
Judyth, this is going to be great! I love the landscape! My block has a lot of "dirt" too, which is what spring is around here; dirt sprouting greenery.
I knew you could do it all along!
OMG Judyth! You really want to play and challenge me! Your block looks great! And I am already shivering out of fear LOL. Well, I have never embellished a landscape before... Must come here many, many times before your block gets here!
Hi Judyth, This is an awesome block and I can't wait to see it after Malla gets her hands on it. You did a great job and I hope you are now back into the "mood" of block making!!!!
