Snacks from Rachel

Rachel sent me all these snacks from Boston. Thank you so much! They're great.





 

Bound and Received

Betsy also quilted this one for me, and I bound it. It's now on Leonora's bed on a regular basis. She loves it. Success!

 

All Quilted Up

My mother in law Betsy quilted this with her machine for me. It's going to make a great blanket when I put the binding on. Thank you!

 

Folding Over

One more leaf almost done and another folding over to the right. It will be the next one filled.

 

Two Golden Sides

These large overlapping cross stitches at least work up fast.

 

Little Mitten Done

It's definitely not blue, but it's done and ready to make into an ornament.

 

One Day the Skirt Will Be Done

That day is not today. Today I just got a bit more of it completed.

 

Konspira Restaurant

When we went to Wroclaw, we managed to get a table at Konspira Restaurant. The theme was interesting and the food delicious.













 

Organ and Surround

The Oliwa church is noted for its superior organ. Didn't get to listen to it, but it's large. The rest of the church is so pristine inside.

Hair or Headdress?

I think the headdress looks like long, blond hair. Maybe it will get better with everything added.


 

Arm and a Leg

Added some green to both the arm and the leg of this little frog. 

 

Pointing the Way

My compass rose is all done. I think it came out fairly well. Now to put it into a hoop.

 

Tree Finished

I finished my Christmas tree. Now I need to sit down and make it into a real ornament.

 

Bags and Backpack

A different backpack for the office. And more tote bags because I can always find a use for them as I try to get the exact color I love...





 

New Pens

Decided to try out some new pen options. The color changing ones in the middle - I am still looking for a paper color they show up on. Others are great.

New Peacock

New peacock to stitch. Lots of work on this one.

 

Chapel Altar

This was the side altar for a niche dedicated to Saint George in Oliwa Church. I just loved the inlay design and want to emulate it in textiles at some point.
