Susan S. sent me this photo of her first Vintage Gone Modern block, from Wool Applique the Piece O’ Cake Way. I really like her fabric selections and I’m surprised at how much I like the black stems. I don’t usually like stems this dark but they are very well-balanced by the other fabrics.

Thought I would send you a photo of the first completed block of Vintage Gone Modern.  I love the combination of cotton with felted wool.  The colors are rich; the texture added by the wool is luscious.  It has added a tactile facet to applique. This is my third Piece ‘O Cake project; each is more enjoyable than the last!

I love getting this kind of email :-).
