Ribbons from Hobby Lobby

Ribbons for finishing projects. I will probably have a hard time with finishing in 2026, though, as it looks like there will be at least two long term trips.

 

Another Dog Done

This still isn't in my rotation, but I do take it on trips. I now have four of about a dozen dogs done. I will get there.

 

Window Frames

Window frames for something different. Will be working on sidewalk next.

 

Flying Away

A butterfly all ready to be hooped and given away.

 

Founding Farmers Dinner with Friends

Before FACT training, we were in DC for a couple of days. Had dinner with friends before heading out. This was our first time to Founding Farmers. We will probably go again next year.

 

More Grayson and Chad

Boys both in comfort mode and begging mode. Always good.

 

Brno Market Crowd

The crowd in Brno last year was huge. Part of it was because there was a Battle of Austerlitz re-enactment going on plus a youth hockey tournament. I'm sure a few were just tourists like us, too.

 

Pinky

Lots of pink for a Halloween design.

 

Changing the Word

Changed the word her back to the original... Californian woke-ism by the designer. At least it was an easy change.

 

Bee-ing Done

Had a couple of reverse stitching sessions, but this is back on track now.

 

A Few More Window Panes

More window panes on the left and a bit more arch in the middle.

 

Quilting Stash

Picked up while in the US and time to quilt. If I can find the time. I've been working on finishing an old project at this point.

 

Little Nabber

For keeping beads in place on the go.

 

Mainly Grayson

A little of Chad hanging out and a bunch of Grayson.

 

Cute Fox

Cute little fox with giant ears hanging out in the sun.

 

Quilt Show in Brno

In Brno center, on our way to the Christmas Market, we stumbled on a quilt show. Of course we went in. There were some fantastic quilts, including one made by a Czech astronaut. She quilted part of it in space. It looks like the view from the portholes. This is a very active quilt club. I wish I had one close here in Warsaw.

 

Fencing In

Well there's still a lot of backstitching to do. The fences and the blackwork corners are a lot of work.

 

Second Flowering

I've got a good start on the second of the three large flowers. This is coming along pretty well. I'm still happy with my choice of the pink fabric. This photo makes everything shifted yellow and a bit washed out.

 

Upside Down

The photo is pretty dark, but it does show progress on the stems and on the big flower.

 

Working to Get Some Wings

Working along to get some wings made. I've just about gotten to the total width of the piece.

 

Cowhide Purse

I think every home leave I come home with a new cowhide purse. I love the feel of cow fur. This one's all woven, too.
