All about sewing RR - Lorries block and butterfly

Ok, now a weekend of stitching was certainly on the cards, and I've enjoyed it immensely.  I've finished my work on Lorries 'All about sewing' block, which I'm the angel for.

Here is the block after my work, the wonderful black singer sewing machine was already on the block to begin with.
My additions are of course the 3D butterfly, then working anti-clockwise, the green chevron seam, the green/blue fan with flower beads. The pink buttonhole and white herringbone seam, with a woven silk ribbon rose cluster. Buttonhole stitch butterfly's, butterfly charms and a flower beaded seam.

Here are closeups for you.

Angel Work for CQI

Angel work has finally happened for me, I have been an Angel for CQI for a year or so now, but have not had  to pull on my hallow and help out.   What is an Angel - well we are the ones that step in to take over a stitcher or stitchers in the Round Robin to help out. Occasionally unforeseen circumstances get in the way of us completing a Round Robin, and so Angels step in.
But all of a sudden, and I really don't mind, I got three all at once.  They are beautiful block sets, Winter and Angel (appropriately named), and so I got to work and finish them off as soon as I could, as they have already been held up long enough, due to family crisis's with the stitchers involved.

So here are the blocks I worked on.  First is the winter DYOB, this was from Wendy's set.
And Wendy's Angel DYOB set
And Cathy's Angel DYOB set
I hope the ladies like the work I have stepped in to do.
