Block One: The Potting Shed

The hand embroidery on block one of the Hocuspocusville Quilt was completed yesterday.
block 1 Potting Shed
While I love how the stitching looks in all black thread evetually I want to make the blocks with  more color like this same block below
Here is a link to take in more photos of the Hocuspocusvill Quilt and lots of other stitchery.

This one has just a bit more color, I just love the difference in appearance the adding of colorful threads give to the block.
The link for this block is here: http://gwargeddcrafting.blogspot.com/2011/02/hocuspocus-quilt.html

I had debated for several days whether to use a metallic thread for the spiderweb but I stayed with the all black, the next time around I will use it.
