This is what happens when Nicki Lee (goddess of hand-dyed lace) gets her hands on your crazy-quilt round-robin block. Nicki says,
When I received [Ellen’s] block I fell in love with it as it was BLUE! I immediately cut up some small lace motifs, dyed them and layered them so when sewed in place, it would become a beautiful little garden. Along with some silk ribbon, beads and stitches, I think I might have succeeded…
Um…yep. I believe you did! See more of Nicki’s work on her blog, Nicki Lee’s Ravioli Dreams.
Oh yes I too agree that Nikki created a lovely lace garden! And I agree she hand dyes her laces beautifully.
Oh, more of Nicki Lee’s beautiful laces!!
The “CQ Garden” is gorgeous!
