A Bit of Magic Came in the Mail Today.....

Isn't it pretty?

It's the Friendship Inspired Crazy Quilt Block.

It came in the mail today from Melissa over at HoneyBeesBliss.

Let me take you on a little tour of this beautifully

stitched square of pure magic

.

Look at the beautiful detail;

.

the lovely tatting with beads stitched inside of

the rings of the Hens and Chicks edging

that Melissa tatted herself.

and the beautiful Silk Ribbon Embroidery stitched on the

cloverleaves of vintage tatted lace.

The crystal teardrop beads hang sweetly nestled

twixt the hanging flowerbells with peals of pearl.

The simple row of tatted lace

from a vintage hankie she acquired from somehwere.

The simple, yet very sweet, touch of handmade lace lends

an unknown story of whence it came.

The pearly heart...a sweet symbol of friendship

floats atop a soft sea of velveteen.

Let me take you to the "heart" of the square

lest we forget our angel in the center, because,

after all,

tatting is The Lace of Angels !

The glass beads stitched so sweetly atop the

silk ribbon roses embroidered on the

beaded lace swag

Can you see them?

.

A lacy flower peeks out

'neath golden threads of beaded stitching

.

Golden flowers with glass pearls afloat

in a sea of pearls, tiny silk roses, and vintage wedding lace.

And last, but not least,

Melissa's signature,

The Honey Bee...

Melissa means "Honey Bee"

A printed label marks the occasion of a
Friendship Inspired Exchange

of handmade goodies

accompanied by an uplifting card

with sweet sentiments of

a friendship inside

.

Thank You, Melissa!

I couldn't be happier.

I hope you get your package soon.
