We have blog winners from the April Give-away. I've selected three email addresses and will continue to offer a blog give-away each month. Please be sure to leave your email address with this posting for the May give-away. We will announce another blog winner May 25th.
Again, really need those email addys to enter the drawing.
The winners are Patricia Morello, Tatting Chic and Gail M. You all will receive private emails requesting addresses. Your packages of goodies will ship the week of May 5th. This is a small way that I can express my gratitude for your visits to the RibbonSmyth Emporium.
The block featured in this posting was designed to be visually pleasing no matter what direction the block was placed. It is still a WIP needing silk ribbon work and additional embellishing but I really like using Taupe, Burgundy and Cinnamon together. I've used as a centerpiece, a beaded lace sample from a Paris Couture house, that was scavaged by dumpster diving. Or that is the story I was told when I was in La Bourboule. Again I used raw edge applique and burned the edges of some of the silk pieces. At the farm, in our farmhouse, we have a new two-story back staircase that is in need of major decorating. Never met a wall filled with vintage pictures, that I did not like. An empty wall is an unhappy wall. And I also fill every bathroom wall with vintage photographs and textiles. I have painted the staircase walls mocha and now am assembling fabrics to create a horizontal wall-hanging and a vertical wall-hanging which will be hung on two walls. The horizontal wall-hanging will be hung 12 feet above the balcony landing and the Vertical wall-hanging will be displayed ascending the staircase. And so far my sketches feature no binding. The edges will be finished but with fibers and beads and will have movment in each block. Will post the progress of each block on the blog.

Vick, love your block-in-progress! You are always "pushing the envelope" , and your use of "shabby" lace bits has inspired me to take a look at those pieces I have that I've always deemed "not nice enough" to be on a block. Love all your stuff, as any look at my stash will tell you! ;-) Hugs, Cathy
cathyk,
you are so kind. never met a bit of lace i did not like! scraps of anything are filled with potential.
and maybe it's just where i am, but raw edges are a design element. stack pieces of lace on top of each other allowing a bit of each lace edge to show and tack down with beads and sequins...
Thanks, Vickie. Count me in for the next giveaway drawing. I'll take anything you want to give away! My email can be found in my blog profile.
i'm new to crazy quilting and the whole embellishment thing... and i LOVE it! your site is a real treasure of goodies. thanks! i'm excited to be in your drawing.

Oh my goodness! Went to read my emails and read in the newsletter that I'm an April winner! I am so excited. I have had my hubby in hospital for the past week (looks like another week to go) and have been having lots of time to sit and stitch and embellish. Can't wait for what is sure to be a box of inspiration! Thank you so much.

Hi Vickie,
I am sorry that your group is no longer creating the Bra Calendars. I really enjoyed them and hope that one day you may consider doing them again. I would love a new one for my collection. And they were for such a good cause.

Hi Vickie,
Thanks for your beautiful blog. I really like your idea of raw edge applique for the cq block. I'm thinking that fusible might also work instead of basting, what do you think? Thanks again, Vicky
Hi Vickie
I have just been reading down your blog and your blocks are spectacular. You have such a way with the silk ribbon and lace. I wish I lived closer so I could come over for some lessons. At least I can see your eye candy on the web. Next best thing.
Are you going to be in Omaha this July?
Hugs

How beautiful your blocks always are! I'm new to CQ and really enjoy your website. Am always drooling over something there and didn't even realize you have a blog til someone told me! I'm trying to learn CQ from scratch - cannot even embroider but I'm practicing my stitches and piecing my first block now.
Thank you for your generous offer in this contest.
