I'll be starting on this block later today. It'll be another peacock block and this one will be a Christmas gift.
The black is crushed velvet, the floral print is a cotton, the soft pink is a silk print, the white is moire taffeta and the hot pink is a sheer fabric with glittered floral sprays. I used white quilters cotton behind it. The lace is vintage. It must have once been on a pillowcase because it has a cut off cotton flange which made it nice and easy to sew into the seam.
Stay tuned to see how this block develops!

And Another Vintage Style Towel!
This is so cute! Cathy's towel design comes from a vintage Vogart pattern, #672 Dutch Treat. This is one that I don't have! I love Cathy's color choices. Nice bright happy colors, perfect for recreating the 30's/40's style!
Thanks so much Cathy for allowing me to share your towel with my readers. It's so charming!

Additions To The Vintage Style Towel Challenge
You may remember that Robin, who joined in on the Vintage Style Towel Challenge, decided to complete the entire set of designs. This morning, she sent me the photos for two more of her towels to share with my readers. Aren't they pretty!

Thank you so much Robin! I'm sure my readers will enjoy seeing these as much as I do!

This Piece Is Complete!
I finished this last night. I added the spider to the web, I added my mom's initial (A) which is a little hard to see here but shows up well on the actual block and I added my grandmother's initial (M) in the lower right-hand corner.
My silly husband asked me last night if it has to weigh in at a certain amount before I consider it done! Ha, ha, ha!
Anyway, this piece is for my mom for Christmas. This block will be framed.
I'll be starting another block later this week so check back.

Mother's CQ Block Day 7
Just a quick little update today as I'm heading over to my mom's for a bit with my vintage transfer collection. She wants to see what interesting things I might have!
Anyway, as you can see, I've added some more stitching to this piece. Some ribbon work on the right side of the paisley, another piece of lace trim, some sequins, oh and the little stars on the black crushed velvet with the angel!
I'm planning on adding my mom's initial, my grandmother's initial and of course, my signature.
More tomorrow!
