Crossing the Sides

I completed the second part this week and continued on with the third. There's still a lot of work to do, even though I'm on the last part. Lots of rice stitches left to do, along with the filigree on the four major sides.

Half a Palm is Better Than None

I'm almost done with the second line now. All it needs is the ret of the black and then the gold. And the second egg definitely has half a palm now. If only I can complete it...

Bedecking the Ladder

I'm still adding flowers to the ladder on this band. Lots more to go, but at least there's some progress.

All Blacks

All blacks this week. Some windows and a tower and roof. The middle house looks almost complete now.

Thank you Myra

I participated in the Brooke's Books exchange and here is what I got in return. Myra must have looked at my blog because she sent me these wonderful crazy quilting supplies. Thank you so much, Myra! I've already got ideas running around for them. I also love the focus of the exchange - the ornament. She said it was a design from Faby Reilly, someone I've never heard of. I really like it, though, so I'll have to look at her others. Thanks again!

Less Skirt, More Flounce

I did more flounce than skirt this week. In fact, I did none of the skirt at all. Instead of skirt, I did the ribbon coming down her side. Although there's still a lot to go, the end is in sight.

Heart Dome

Well, the part I'm working on now looks like an inverted heart, but it also looks like the onion dome of the local Ukranian Orthodox church, just a different color. Anyway, I was sent parts four and five together and am working on the second square of part four. Part five is down the side. I like how it's coming together, but I have lots of catching up to do.
