Your lucky day - more photos, well one :) This is my finished bit of your block - felt like I did the whole block lol

In case you can't tell what I've done - 4 seams- beaded couched velvety ribbon, beaded herringbone, chain stitch in variegated thread, and deep green buttonhole, next to the maiden, the rambling poetic number in dark red beads and gold is my doing :) as well as the flower garden around Elly's maiden, complete with spider and web.

Next to the butterfly block I added a wooden smiling face bead I bought for you in Melbourne. I had a feeling she's sort of a Gaia - earth mother type, so added the whispy vari-coloured yarn around her, crystal beads at the top for the night sky, and green and blue beads at the bottom to represent the earth and water. If you don't like her, or her adornment, feel free to frog her ::)

That's about it, when i know you've seen it, I'll post a pic on the cq blog, and then mail it off to Kellie probably Friday, I don't think there's a rush, haven't heard that she's finished Trish's.

Hope you like it :) Belle
