Actually most of the lower right lace will be covered with lavender... I added the ruching around the image using TWO needles as I went... one doing the gathering and one tacking it down... I find I am much happier with the end result using that technique... Would anyone like a mini tutorial on that???
So about about 3 am I scanned the block into the computer and did a little photoshop magic on it.
The vintage lace lower left will be heavily beaded and the perfect spot for the precious enamel charms from the bracelet I got at the thrift store last week... And I do indeed think the swallow button will perfect for this block..
Between not fun but necessary commitments, taking both dogs to vet, myself twice to doctors and driving my mother to appointments, today is the first day this week I've been home and I need to paint buttons....But I'd rather be stitching..

It'll be fabulous! I love lavender.
This block is going to be another gorgeous block.
Lavender and butterflies are perfect. I love butterflied because they are beautiful and lavender because it is pretty, smells nice and is so useful. I use lavender essential oil in my booboo salve and the flowers buds, along with other plants, to make the infused oil that I use for it. Which reminds me, I really need to make a new batch soon....but maybe not today. For sure before Feb. 22 because a couple of the quilting seniors want some. I never thought to use the 2 needle method for the ruching but it certainly would make things much easier.
Your butterflies are beautiful on this block. How fun to preview your block with Photoshop. Blissful Stitching...
your block is coming along treat, and I never say no to a tutorial
Yes on the tutorial!
