Blue Tunic

I got her face done this week and started filling out her tunic. This part is going pretty quickly. The face doesn't really have any contrast between the two colors - one overdyed and one plain - used. Maybe it'll show up more when she's outlined.

Filling in the Bricks

Now you can see more of the beginning of the building. While I love the blue I finished, I'm so happy to go on to something new. This is, so far, going pretty well, too, and has a lot of variety.

Can You See...?

Can you see the progress here from last week? I can! I finished some red and worked some on the skirt, in the lighter colors. I also added a bit more to the ribbon trailing down darkly.

A Block of India

Yes, another crazy quilt round robin. This is from the My Favorite Things round robin, and the second block I've worked on. The owner lives in India and she chose an Indian village as her theme. Here is the block before I did any work.

This is how it looks now that I've done my part. I tried to fill in a lot of space because it looked bare to me for after someone else had worked on it. I added a motif across the top, an elephant in the central panel, and two seam treatments.

Here is the top in detail. I used Kreinik Braid, Sheep's Silk, and Watercolours.

Bottom's Done

This time the stitching's going much faster on the heart. I've got the whole bottom done and am beginning to put in the lettering. I really like the colors on this and it looks rather modern-Christmas without being garish to me.

Tiny Progress

Last week the picture was taken while I was in the middle of this in my rotation. That's why it's here again - I finished off what I did. The M is almost halfway done, and I'll be working on it again tomorrow.

Squaring Off

I'm almost done, finally, with the cross stitching on parts two and three. It's taken me long enough! The group is closed and I'm still on part three. I am sooooo slow. I've even been working on it pretty steadily all this time. Oh well, it'll keep me going for years, right?
