Outside My Comfort Zone!!

Oh my, I see it's been awhile since I last posted.  I received Sarma's round robin blocks on Friday.  At first I was going to set them aside and have a good think on what to stitch.  I have never attempted anything with an Asian theme so was a little bit out of my comfort zone with this one.  When I was routing around in my charms on Saturday I came across some tiger charms and the light bulb went off.  Perfect....for this project.  She used the loveliest silks and satins and I hated to cover them up.  I used a brown piece of lace to balance the brown in the opposite corner and stayed with black and gold metallic threads for the stitching.  The stitching was done in a way to make your eye travel around the block in the same direction as the tigers chasing each other.  I pulled all the colors together with a nice silk floral cluster.  I hope it works for her.
