Mystery Part Five

I finished up part five of the German group mystery.  I still love the way it's looking.

Faye's Celtic Block Done

Here's the picture of Faye's block empty a second time.  I finished it and the work I did is in the picture below.

There's a Celtic cross, a piece of Irish crochet, and a dragon charm.  I also did a couple of seams.  None of it's the knotwork the others have done on blocks, but I hope this other view of Celtic art is acceptable.

Darlene's Asian Block

Darlene picked a blue and white theme for her block.  Here it is before my work.

And here it is after my work.  I added a leaf outline, a yin yang symbol and blue cherry blossoms.  I also did a few seams.  I like the blue and white theme, so it was easy to work on.  I hope she likes the work.  One more person works on it before going back to her.

The green floss didn't come in this past week, so I ended up working on peaches next to the door.  Floss came in after I worked on it, though!  I can get Anchor here, but DMC is non-existent, and I've not found any fabric, even Aida, at all.  The only patterns I've seen have been in magazines.

My First Biscornu

I finally succumbed and made a finish into a biscornu.  I think it came out pretty well.  The back is blank, and the front is that Frimas design I finished last month.

The seventh part of Herz Rot Weiss from the Marquoir group is started.  I truly love these colors.  It looks sophisticated with the tracery.  I'm behind, but I'll get it done.

My First Egg

I made this egg for an egg temari swap with Talk Temari.  It's going out in the mail tomorrow.  It was interesting working with a completely new shape.  I used anchor #5 perle and there's a plastic egg in the middle to give it its shape.  I have a gross of plastic eggs, so I'll be making more soon.
