How Much Brown?

Yes, I was working with brown again this week and am getting a bit tired of it. I do, however, seem to make real progress every time I stitch, at least. This week's brown was around the edges of the light panes of the skirt. They're almost completely sided now and it's looking pretty good.

One Heart Done

I finished the first of my two hearts this week. It's kind of cute, and I hope they like it.

Fabric Stash

After hours of walking in the wrong directions on Saturday, we managed to find a fabric store! It's just a few blocks from the National Museum, in the area where most of the formal gowns imported from Turkey are. No cottons there, and the selection was small, but what they did have was pretty. All of the fabrics are rayon blends.

My favorite fabric is this black - it reminds me of a forest on a winter night. I have a quilt block to piece by the 20th, so I really needed fabric. I also like the one with the embroidered swirls on it.

Hopefully, I'll be able to make a quilt square that looks like autumn from these fabrics. I think so.

Part Six Started

I started part six this week; I'm a part behind, but I don't really see a way to catch up. I've got alot of blackwork to do on this one, possibly even more than I did in part three. I need to get cracking on it.

It's a Muslim Country (Warning, OT and possibly offensive)

I know this isn't what you expect on my blog, but it struck me as silly, so I'm posting it. There are five or six of these identical billboards downtown. Yes, it's a Muslim country. Well, it's a secular country with a very large Muslim population. Anyway, it struck me as a way to show how very European Kosovo is, too.

Enlarging the Point

I worked a bit on this this week, and the inner design is beginning to take shape.

All Glitzed Up

I think I have most of the glitz on this done now. I like the way it looks, the diamond. It might make a nice small photo frame.
