I finished Hideko's block. (-; I embellished the silky with some black and silver lace and a little bow with a pearl. I also put a flower on her hat. The little silk ribbon stars on top of the black lace are from a book called Ribbon Stitches Embroidery by Yukiko Ogura. The flowers on the left are also inspired by this book. I did a button cluster on the right. One of the buttons is actually from the Victorian time frame (second from top). I also added a couple of charms, a ribbon and some seam treatments. It will soon be on its way to Gerry H. Hope you like it Hideko!

Soooo very pretty! I know she is going to love it. I'm actually working on a red/black snowball for her now. Are you doing snowballs? Would love to swap one with you if your are interested.
Hugs!

This is so pretty, Connie. I'm looking forward to receiving Hideko's blocks. And I am SOOOOOOO glad that we're back on track.

Really pretty! The black and silver on the silkie is such a nice touch. You did a super job on your roses too. I'm sure she will love it.
I have some of that fall colored braid; think I bought it at the Berry Patch during the first retreat in Windsor.
I love these blocks and this is a particularly pretty one.
