Still More Belly

I'm almost done with the widest part of Bibendum! Probably my next work on him will be finishing the belly and starting work on the bicycle. Yay, back to a third color in the mix! I'm over halfway done, too.

Beginning the Middle

More color, all blues and greens, as I started the middle of this. I think the design's pretty, although I have a problem with the chart. A large part of the backstitching and special stitches is in gold. It's shown in the chart as yellow lines and is very hard to read.

Puppy Update!

The puppy has a home. As late as Wednesday, we thought she would be coming back to the US. Instead, at the last minute, she was adopted by a Kosovar shepherd. Yes, they still exist in the Balkans. She will be his companion as he works and have a good home. She'll be doing what she was bred to do. I'll miss her, though.

Catching Up on Part Four

Still in catch up mode, I started part four of See the Stars this past week. Since this picture was taken last Friday, I've finished the part and am now "current", in that I need to have part five done by the beginning of June. A picture of the completed area will be taken tonight.

Third Block of the Month

Yes, I've finished my third quilt block round robin this month. This block is Ati's Anything Goes block. Her theme's a garden, and so I did a nice flower in the lower left corner. Added more stuff... hope she likes it. Top is before my work, bottom is after.

Still Got Measles

All the curves are beginning to come off now. It's getting the final squaring off. I'm so close to getting this done, I keep thinking, but the actual size of the piece is deceptive over one.

Winding Down the Flutter

This week, it was all about the ribbon on the Lady's side. She's coming along, and I'm beginning to feel good about her progress.
