The detail:
This hand dyed piece of lace runs across piece 5 on block 24 of the "I dropped the button box" quilt. I lace silk ribbon through it and with the same silk ribbon worked some loose French knots. In the middle of each french knot I added a seed bead. I also added small novelty beads along the middle of the lace which are also held in place with a seed bead.
The back story:
This is part of a series documenting the seam embroidery and embellishments in crazy quilt blocks in my quilt. All articles in the series are categorised under Crazy Quilt details
Links to the crazy quilt blocks covered so far are, block 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 , 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24

I love what you've done with that! I've run ribbon into lace along the top edge, but it never occured to me to run it through the bottom like that!
