I finished the second block in the Blackbird Designs Anniversaries of the Heart series recently. I must say that the satin stitch and I are not friends. I stitched that part twice and am not completely pleased. Chain stitch was a first for me. I'm really enjoying this project. I have a feeling that I'll love each block more than the last one. As with the first block, I'm saving the personalization until I have time to sit down and really plan out the entire set of personalizations. I do have some ideas!

Ooo~~~ This is gorgeous!!!! The chain stitch is so interesting!!! Never done it before~
It really is lovely. Others rarely see the bits we dont like of our own work.They just see the beauty of the end result.
(Satin stitch and I are not friends either !)
Hmmm. Evidently we must have a tutorial on kewl ways to satin stitch and chain stitch. A trip to Atlanta is in order. :-)
Your BBD house is so pretty, Jackie--love the pair of birds sharing the heart :)
Looking forward to seeing the next one!

Boy you whipped thru that one Jackie - looks very nice to me - I just finished up my AoTH chart collection - now to get thru Snow Garden - I don't know why I have such a mental block on completing that one. Cheers! Mel
I can't even find the satin stitch. Your block is looking good finished. Grats!!
Love it!
(I don't like to do satin stitch either. Bleh.)
Congratulations on finishing Valentine Rose. I don't mind satin stitch but I left off the chain stitch as I couldn't seem to get my head round it and was scared I made a mess of it and ruined the whole thing!
