Honeymooning in ASIA
Beaded Hedebo Edge
perle 8 - triangular beads
Had to have a couple of goes and was pleased I had a copy of the A-Z of Embroidery Stitches! Firstly I made my cross stitches too small - they have to be fairly bold, but may have another go using a finer thread but with decent sized crosses.

This is going to be an elegant block!!
Very nice! Love the colors already.
Wonderful image to build around. Carol, are you going to continue your travels for CQJP 2013?
Yes, they are quite attractive this month - blue violet/yellow orange.
Well, you said I could do glamour and glitz now we'll see if I can do elegant.
No, I don't think so Connie, almost twelve months of travelling is sufficient. I've other mountains to climb in 2013 - tatting, embroidered butterflies to name but two.
Carol, I hate to see your travel blocks come to an end because it has been such a fun journey, but I don't blame you. I'm not planning on doing TAST or BJP again real soon. I may do CQJP 2013, but go a different direction. Like you I would like to keep some time to play around with new ideas.
Sharon doesn't run TAST every year--every 3 or 4 years.
I doubt I will do any organized challenges in 2013. One year will be enough for me too.
I absolutely love your center! She's so wonderful, and the colors are perfect. I like the edge on the ribbon.
This is a very striking block. The hebedo stitch provides a nice accent.
Your hebedo looks great. I like all the variations I am seeing on different blogs. Yes, it's a stitch that needs some experimenting with I think.
The Asia block is looking good so far, and the Eastern colour scheme is an interesting one. I look forward to seeing more.
Aha! So, Sarah and her cowboy (does he have a name?) are off to Asia, eh? Great looking hedebo stitch; looks like the practicing paid off! OI love the center piece also, really sets the tone for the whole block. Might that be Sarah in disguise?
