Like your switch to a ladybug (my mum calls them ladybirds too, but she's English). Kate, your embroidery takes my breath away. It's so 3D the first one especially, I really had a good look. Another Gypsy Wife block to love. :-)Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893619710941204763.post-14893227432436086432017-08-28T00:58:27.636+01:002017-08-28T00:58:27.636+01:00I think your block is pretty darn perfect!

Good to see your gypsy wife block well worth persevering with.

I think your poem says it best about the attitude we should have toward those happenings. Here we had odd breakdowns all in a few days and I was apt to blame it on our eclipse. Why not? Or maybe fairies. Most have been taken care of in very simple ways. So I won't stay awake. Your block is terrific. It looks perfect to me.

I have at least six tape measures of various length and sometimes all of them disappear. They eventually turn up, but I'm always missing them when I really need to measure something. I've also had scissors appear and disappear on me. I think there are tiny sewing elves rearranging things when I'm not looking!JoanGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296109077095410908noreply@blogger.com
