Starting from left to right, at the top, I added: the pink French Knots to her Feather stitched vine and beaded flowers trail, and the white Chain stitched half circles with the gold beads below it.
The colored beads to her green Fly stitches and the small green butterfly below the lace flower motif. Also the blue ribbon with the pink Chevron stitch and the blue beads.
The gold French Knots above her red Herringbone stitches, and the gold filled Lazy Daisy stitches with the blue Straight stitch snowflakes below.
The burnt orange Blanket/Buttonhole stitch (variation) and Straight stitch combination with white beads and gold cylinder bead pieces, and the Whipped Back stitch for the hand embroidered "Winter." And finally, the pink beads along the edge of her blue ribbon.
I would also like to extend a special thank you to Sharon B for making her wonderful Stitch Dictionary available for reference.
Until Next time...Happy Needling!!!

Oh My GOSH! Gerry you have done an awesome fabulous job on my block! I cant wait to see it in person! And thank you very much for putting the word "winter" on it. I wanted letters on all my blocks but I just cant get the backstitch right yet so I have been practising so I can do this when I get them back! And its on point! Perfect!
Thank you
Robin
