I've finished the light blue areas on the second jellyfish this week. It's kind of tedious with the two different thicknesses of threads and keeping track without tangling them, but the result's pretty neat. Now on to the white.
I received this ornament as part of the Friendly Stitchers exchange. Thank you Joyce! I really like it and it'll go on a doorknob for Christmas, since we won't have a tree.
I had to redo most of the sweep down on the west side - it was off and I discovered the mistake this week. I've been doing a lot more frogging than I've been happy with lately. I did make progress and now it's fixed, so it'll all come together soon. I'm almost at the point on this where I just sit down and finish it.
I'm back to working on the Christmas Mystery since it's got a lot of parts and I was chastized for not making more progress before Christmas on it. So, I started part four. It's coming along pretty quickly.
I had a bit of a problem making these for an exchange on my crazy quilting group, but I finally finished them. My sewing machine decided it didn't like overseas travel and died, so I had to hand piece both blocks. The note tied onto each block is a picture of the place where I bought some of the things here in Uruguay. Both blocks were sent last Friday and are winging their way to the US and Canada, respectively. I hope their owners-to-be like them!
I participated in the fall exchange on the BBInteractive YahooGroup this year, and sent this to my partner. She's received it, so I can post it now. The pattern was off of a French freebie site, and I like the way the thread turned out. It looks like fall to me.
