CQ Magazine Online
CQ Magazine Online has just released their new issue! Click here for some great CQ reading! I haven't read any of the new articles yet but I promise, you're in for a treat. If you've never been there before, be sure to read the "back issues" as well!
Further Progress On Butterfly Block
It's a shame that the scanner or camera can't pick up the sparklies!
I added alot of beads yesterday. Silver bugle beads to the silver braid, tiny delica beads here and there. I really wish you could see this in person!
I did some tatted flowers for the vine on the bottom right, added the fan stitch along the left side and added some beads to the vine at the top of the butterfly. Oh and then the bee!
The bee was a tack pin that I found a flea market earlier this Summer. It came in a little bag of misc. vintage pieces. My husband cut the pin off with some tool that he has and then ground the little stump from the pin off so it didn't catch on the fabric.
I still want to add some beads or crystals to the butterfly wings and I have two more seams to cover. I expect this block will be complete very soon!

Transfers At The Needle's Excellency
For those of you who are into vintage transfers, it looks like Laren has aquired some new ones. Be sure to check out her "Sally Perkins" Vogart transfer. I have never seen this one here in the US and I've never heard of Sally Perkins. If anyone out there can shed some light on this, I'd love to hear from you!
Birth Of A Hummingbird
Most of you know, I love birds! Especially the tiniest of all birds, the hummingbirds! Kathy, aka Mad Stitcher, sent me this link and I thought my readers here might enjoy it! Bird Of A Hummingbird is a series of baby hummingbird photos, from birth to leaving the nest. Be sure to see all 6 pages.

Just a quick note to let you know that the BB is up and running. The redirect from the old server to the new server is not working. (I'm so surprised!) You'll need the direct link to get in. Click here and then bookmark it and you shouldn't have anymore trouble.
