Tom and I received the cutest siggies from Marij in The Netherlands this week. Here is mine.
Two more Dutch Treat blocks over the last two nights;

I also finished two chatelaines this week. One is for our guild's swap with our Aussie pen pals. The other will be donated to the boutique at our guild's quilt show Labor Day weekend. I appliqued one of my signature Sue's on the one going to Australia.
Using pictures from Connie's site, here is an explanation of all the cool features.
If you do any kind of hand work you'd love one of these and they are a breeze to make.

Love the chatelaines; I keep saying I'm going to make one but it just hasn't happened yet.
The dutch treat blocks with embroidery just seems to add a little something special to the blocks. I saw embroidery on some of your previous blocks and they just really sparkle.
I have the Dutch Treat book, and I have a couple of blocks floating around here. I am a new fan of yours, and have been reading through your archives for a few days now, just to see your Dear Jane & Dutch Treat blocks. I never realized how many of the DT blocks had embroidery, though! I really do want to get back to mine. You are quite the inspiration.
Pretty chatelaines...I'm not sure if they would work for me because I'm up and down all the time. Sure wish I could sit still for a few hours at a time....might get something done LOL.

Love the chatelaines. I can certainly see the usefulness for handwork times!
Thanks for explaining what they were and showing pictures because I never heard of them before.
I love the Dutch Treat blocks...just stunning!
