Knocking Down the Door

Still working on the door this week; I've almost got all the top done, and the middle squares are almost done too. I'll be working on finishing them and getting the bottom progressed this week.

Started the Second Row

The color on this is too light this time, but you can see I started a new color this week. There's a row of Algerian eyes between the two lines, but I'm going to be doing that last. I'll be finishing up the top row and working on the second area at the same time next week. I really do love the colors on this project; I wish they showed up better so you can see what I mean.

Leave Me Blue

Still working on part two here. I've almost got it done, though. There are some leaves done on the big flowers and the large rice stitch blocks are coming together. I think I'll have this complete before the end of August. I really like this piece.

Backing In Again

There is more progress on this mandala- the line across is almost done. I only need to finish the black line and sew in the golden line on top. On the second egg, it looks like I will have to stitch with black next too. This week, it was the background light green half stitches.

Budding Out

The inside of the ladder part is done, and I added in some of the buds and tendrils. It's coming along a little bit faster than I thought it would.

Not Quite

Not quite another building done, but some progress. Lots of roofs to add, so I have the feeling I'll finish several buildings on the same day. On another note, I managed to get part of part seven done this week, too.

Lyn's Autumn Block Done

I finished Lyn's autumn block this week. It'll be in the mail tomorrow. This is the way I received it, and after me there's only one more person to work on it. And I have only one more block in the round robin to work on, too!

Here is the block after my work. I added some of the motifs from Bulgaria, a vine on the side, and two seams - one gold one at the top to balance the gold on bottom, and then beads across the top of the orange. I know Lyn adores Cobi's work (so do I, she does awesome things), so I left the central area blank for Cobi to play with. I hope Lyn likes my additions.
