All I have to do is the beading on this lace arbor block (block #12) and I'm taking it with me today to play bridge. I can always get a lot done between rounds and during the lunch hour. The color on this block is more intense than than the others but I really wanted to use that lace...
The pansy block is done except for the pansies and I dyed some ribbon this morning. It is just cheap polysatin ribbon but will work fine.....hopefully. I used the alcohol inks to dye it. They will dye ANYTHING!!
And the last trip to thrift store I found this pillow sham which looks to have been washed a hundred times. It is lovely and will use it as borders and page backs for the cottage books. I wish there had been two of them.

I can see why you wanted to use that lace - mouth watering :). I need to find somewhere to buy some of the alcohol inks. I can't order them online because they won't ship them across the border - probably have a low flash point. Thrift stores are such great places to shop - the pillow sham just seems perfect for covers for your cottage book.
another lovely block, can`t wit to see them all together
Such lovely blocks!
