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.

Bees and Ladybugs

Another buggy block from the round robin group.  This one's Cathy L's and is on its way to Arlene now.  Here is what was done on it when I got the block.

And here it is after my work.  I added beady bees and ladybugs and some stitchy seams.  I also added some ribbon butterflies.  I hope she likes it.

Redder

Yup, it's more red.  Shocking.  I've not been progressing quickly on anything lately, but will be getting back to this this week.  I hope.
