A lace CQ garden by Nicki Lee

August 25, 2009 by Denise Felton

nickiThis 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.
