Another Part Done


Three more squares done on the Kaleidoscope Mandala.  I think I'm actually beginning to make ground on it versus how many squares have been released.

Third Belly Started!

The third jellyfish is officially started, since I've decided to go in the order of the directions and not complete each jellyfish as it comes up.  This third one has a wave stitch throughout it on the bottom.  Easy enough to do, except that it is made up of one filament of silk and two of Accentuate or Bijoux, depending on color.  I like the way it looks so far, though. 

Five Squares


I've now completed five squares of the heart design.  It looks really good in person; the colors are more subtle.  After this, I started See the Stars again.  Slowly, I'm catching up on my stitchalongs.

Shutter and Sidewalk


This week's work was on the upper shutter, the side of the middle window, and the gray sidewalk on the bottom.  Definitely visible progress, and about to turn a page in the chart!

Butterflies, Anyone?


This is the second of two blocks I made for round robins this month.  This one's an insect round robin, so I found butterfly fabrics to put on it.

Beadiful


I went back to the bead shop yesterday and bought more.  Some are being sent to the States for an exchange, but I'm keeping some, too.  Some of the nicer finds: small coins with Elizabeth II on them, colored wooden beads, some twisted manganese blue bugle beads, and star shaped glass beads.

Back to Quilting


Well, I've finally joined some more crazy quilting round robins.  This block is for an Asian round robin.  I decided to ask for an Arabian theme again, then perhaps I can do something with the two blocks - this one and the one from the previous Asian round robin.  I'll have to see what they do with it!
