Autumn House - Block 1

Yay! I finished!

Autumn House Block 1
I'm really happy with how this turned out, especially considering my very limited embroidery experience. Before I started stitching on the block, I practiced my stem stitch using Judith Baker Montano's instructions in Elegant Stitches as a guide. I'm glad I took the time to practice, because I think it made a big difference.

Now I anxiously await block 2!
