The first towel in our "Vintage Style Towel Challenge" has come in and it's from Gina at Patra's Place!
Is this just too cute or what? I believe Gina used an Aunt Martha's Iron-On transfer. I'm awaiting her confirmation on that.
Gina, thank you so much for joining the challenge and for sharing your project with us! This little girl is very "vintage" looking and your stitching is perfect!
If you're interested in joining the "Vintage Style Towel Challenge", see my July 19th post for the criteria.

Chicken Scratch Leaflet
I have alot to share today so I'll do a little at a time throughout the day in between my design work.
The first order of business is to share this great Leisure Arts leaflet on Chicken Scratch! One of the girls at my X Stitch Chat Board found this at a garage sale and offered it to me. Wow! I love it!
This is the front cover:
My first project will be that apple! It's just too cute!
And this is the back cover:
I love the little fruit basket too! Now to find some more stitching time!

Vintage Stitched Aprons At Patra's Place
Ok, this will be my last post for today. I just wanted to take a moment to say that if you're into vintage aprons, you simply must visit Gina at Patra's Place. Oh my goodness! Gina has shared photos of some of her vintage stitched apron collection! I told Gina that I would be sending her the bill for a new keyboard because I'm drooling all over mine! These are gorgeous! Please take a peek! I'm off to stitch now.

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!
