A Half Circle

I worked mainly on the inner part of the compass rose this week; it's coming along, though like every other project, more slowly than I'd like.

Zenned Part Four

I finished Zentangle part four last week, and have the next part to do in my pile. I'm slowly catching up with my stitchalongs. I still really like this even though the colors are so not me.

Pinking It Up

I made more progress on Camelot this week. It was all Scotch stitches, working on the shading in the four outer areas. I'm getting to the point where I can declare this halfway done, I think.

I'll do another Bulgarian post on Tuesday and a couple of Kosovo ones later in the week.

Another Crazy Finish

This is the second of the crazy quilt round robins I'm finishing this month. It's Bonnie W's, and all her blocks are neutral. I picked this one because it was the only one without a really discernable fan in it, and I'm different.

I spent a while figuring out what to do and then did several things. The gold little appliques are from the Bulgarian fabric. My favorite, though, is the four petal flower seam treatment. I hope she likes it. There were so many small bits that it was hard to work motifs for most of the pieces of fabric. Surprisingly, this also makes my fourth finish of this month. I come home from Kosovo and get productive, I guess.

More Plane Stitching

I started this on the trip from Pristina to Vienna and worked on it some more between Vienna and Paris. Got a lot done! It's the second workshop from Chatelaine, this time focussing on rice stitches. I'm still working on getting the outline done. I really like these colors - I gravitate toward the cool ones. As you can see, though, it's a small piece, so I have a chance of finishing it relatively soon.

Yay, I finally finished the second of the charity hearts! It's going out to Germany today.
