This is a new stitch to me.  It looked like a tough one to learn so I just worked in on a loose piece of fabric.  I didn't have the confidence to try it on one of my crazy quilt blocks.  I am glad that I didn't as I think it will take me some practice to get it right.  I probably should have worked on aida cloth or similar.  It would have made it easier to keep things even.  I do like the stitch.  Thanks to Sharon B. at  http://pintangle.com/  for the instructions.

It feels so good to complete a block each month.  I know at the end of the year I am going to be really pleased to have twelve blocks to stitch together!

I honestly wonder how people can part with these lovely napkins and place mats.  I am grateful that I find them and will put them to good use.  I do have quite the stock pile right now.  I better get stitching!

Honestly, the weeks are flying by!  I didn't make much progress on this block this past week.  I added the silk ribbon roses.  They are so pretty and work well with the block.  Reporting in on my progress really does help.  Even if it wasn't a lot of progress!  Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com  for helping to keep me on track!

The Breton stitch is new to me.  Since it is based on the herringbone stitch, which is not new to me it was easy to learn.  I used ribbon floss to create the stitch.  Its okay, but a bit tough to keep the stitches looking neat.  It is slippery stuff! Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/  for the stitching lessons.

There is no class this coming weekend.  I hope everyone enjoys a wonderful Easter with their families and friends!           There has been a slight change made to the class on April 6.  I am combining my Japanese paper class                with the needlefelting paper class.  It should be loads of fun!

Check out the treasure trove I scored!  Some awesome vintages laces!  I got this bagful of delights for two dollars!!  I doubt the butterfly trims are vintage but that doesn't matter as I love butterflies.
