Above is my Visual Journal sketches for this kite scene seam, which wasn’t working untill I added the cloud…
The cload is a piece of cotton batting stitched on with buttonhole stitch.
An appliqued kite with embroidered cross bars would have been just as effective but I couldn’t help myself from making a miniature kite from wire and fabric.
A bead doll is flying the kite.
I like this seam because it is the first of the scene seams that I have been able to work onto a vertical seam…
Below is the finished block 23…7 to go.

This is such a great idea and it goes so well with the “story” of your block!

I love the kite flying, Annie. The cloud is perfect–a nice tie in with the shirt, too.
