Getting the Blocks Done

I go away again for a week on Tuesday next, and have company for two months after that, so I'm trying to get all my round robins mailed out before that. Yes, I'm trying to be organized and prepared. Wonderment! This is Laura's CQI Do Your Block. She's making a quilt for Project Linus, so no beads or other really froufrou embellishments.

I decided to challenge myself a bit more with it and use only one kind of floss. I used a rainbow colored Threadworx, and did a bit with it. The seams and four flowers, plus a heart in the middle. I think it looks bright and cheery for a regular quilt. The blocks were sent on on Saturday. I hope Laura approves.

An Ollllld UFO

I don't think I've worked on this for five years previous to last week. It got added to my rotation with the finishing of Berries for You! It's Church Street from Barbara and Cheryl and I'm about a third of the way done. I did black on the door this week. It felt good to get back to it. I have a few more UFO's to add to my rotation as I finish other things.

Spring Mystery Revealed

I finished the Spring Mystery from Tam's Creations on Friday. I think it looks really good. I've not decided whether to make it into a pillow or let my husband frame it. I only finished it a month after the scheduled finish. That's somewhat of a record for me. See the Stars is caught up and I'm working on catching up Zentangle. Currently, I'm back to two parts behind, but I'm stitching it today. All of these are through the German Marquoir group on Yahoo. I'd like to thank Elke and Susanne for obtaining permission for us to work on such great projects!

Getting Tire-d

Bibendum was one of the pieces I got to work on twice this past week. For some reason I stitched more on things. I got through my whole rotation plus again about half. Anyway, he's got both tires started now and the end is beginning to get obvious.

Green Swirls

As you can see, I did some of the lines and some of the egg again. I like the way the swirls look different from the side on the egg. Anyway, the big thing is progress is being made.

A Line on the Blue

I've stitched on this twice now. There are over forty points across - I think that's all the way around the bag. So far, I've found that I really need good light to work on it, but I like the feel and colors of the Tentakulum. I wish it was easier to find and had more colors.

Band Nine Done and Ten Started

I finished band nine this week - only bands ten through twelve to go, though band ten at least is pretty big. I've started the tenth band, and as you can see, it's a bit weird in design. To me, the top border looks like those aliens from Space Invaders. Anyway, it's good to feel this is progressing somewhat quickly.
