DYB Victorian Ladies RR, my work on Lisa's block

So, we came to end of to another RR, I worked on Lisa's block that was the last one to complete Victorian RR. Upon her demand I used my oyas. 
I crocheted a small basket, used varigated color rig-rig ribbon as its holder to catch a color harmony with the opposite side. Small Nile green color butterflies Lisa's own embellishments. I added a bracelet on the hand motif charm:)) The sead beads I've used almost same color with the main fabric color. I used same color silk ribbons at top to create a small spray, added small butterfly charms.
My new small type violets looked pretty at left top side, as seen I made seam treatments and used beaded oya laces.
This photo shows my whole work on the block. It was a very nice RR with lots of old stitching friends, Hideko, Cathy, Gary, Connie and Lisa thank you very much, I enjoyed to stitch with you all together, I hope we come together in another RR soon.

Victorian Ladies - DYB RR, Cathy's block

 DYB RR - Victorian Ladies keeps going, I worked on Cathy's lovely block this month.But, unfortunately, I've completed it a little bit late due to some serious family health issues.
 I enjoyed so much to work on it. I tried to use all soft color threads and silk ribbons.
 This photo shows the final of the block. Its original looks so pretty, the photo doesn't justice its pale colors. A small violin charm is the last addition to piano playing ladies theme. I wish I could have a small piano charm!  The silk print was so nice, I just covered its surrounding, didn't touch the main figure.
This photo is another close-up to show you little beading materials I've used on the block. I added small sead beads on to little charms, they looked so pretty for me, I hope Cathy likes them too. Most of my quilter friends know that I love to use sequins, I shouldn't complete this block without sequins;-)) I'm glad that there were neat color sequins in my stash,  I think, I catched a lovely color harmony.
Now, I'm waiting another block to play.
