Adding a Bit of Brown

This week I started working on the dress again, on top of the flag. I think it's coming along well, and the picture doesn't do it justice. Now to get more done on it so it's ready on time! I'm beginning to feel the Christmas crunch, and might be putting a couple of my large projects on hold for a few weeks while I work on ornaments and presents. By next week, I'll have made a decision.

Ribbet

This is part of the stash I bought last week, and I'm nearly a third of the way done with it. It's a Christmas present for my son. I'm not worried about him reading this blog; it never crosses his mind to. Anyway, I changed out the fabric from the kit's Aida to some linen. It looks kind of cute.

Dazzle Cross

Even though I was on vacation, I managed to finish off the scotch stitch part of these rectangles. Next up is the sparkly stuff between them. I might even get to it this week.

Back to the Melon Patch

I -think- I'm finally halfway done on this part of the garden. Ended up doing a lot of filling in again this week with the honeydew. It definitely brought me to the halfway point on the right side, and close to it on the left. This week, I'll be doing more colors. It's getting there!

Tuscan Blues

I got more blues done on part three. It's coming along slowly, and of course I'm behind again. What's new? On the other hand, I enjoy the journey and I don't stress over having to get it done by a certain date.

Stash Enhanced

When we were in New Hampshire, I found stash! Here's most of my haul. It doesn't break my challenge, though, because I spent money I'd gotten for my birthday and from selling other stash. There's fabric in it and several quilt patterns. It's been a couple of years, at least, since I've added to my quilt stash.

Golden Filigree

I did almost all the golden curls at the bottom of the left arch. It looks pretty good, even if i did have to frog some of it at first. That's done now, it's properly placed, and I even mananged to add some green to the second arch. It's coming along...
