I got Jo's blocks in the mail today and I'm excited to start working on them! I remembered Jo blogging about a piece of jewelery she got with her 6th block in mind when they are returned to her and that has been my inspiration for this block. I love elegance so I'm really excited to be working with an elegant theme using the tones of the block. I picked this block because of the radiating lines, I just love the look of blocks pieced like this. It will challenge me a bit since it's asking for seam treatments so I'm excited to push myself in that area. I plan to bead around the cameo with white pearly beads and make it a pretty focal point. I'd like to make some tatting for the block but I'm not sure exactly of what I'd want yet.Tuesday, July 10, 2007

Melissa, it looks beautiful so far. I actually would love to see of your SRE on my block... it wouldn't be you otherwise!!
Have fun.
Thank you Jo!!! I will for sure then, I've already started on the vine for the gold flowers!
I just wanted to stop by and thank you for the rewritten tatted Sweatheart pattern for needle tatters you are credited for at

Thanks to your rewritten pattern I finally "got" when to reverse work! I've only been trying needle tatting for a couple of weeks but the "light went on" as I tried following your version of the pattern :)
