This parade reminded me of the Fort Worth Livestock Show parade - lots and lots of horses and people in nineteenth century garb. Horses behaving, horses out of control, and a lot of manure on the ground. It was fun to watch and reminded me of home. Children as young as three were riding their own horses and the most frequent flag was "Libertad o Muerte", one any Texan could understand. There were a lot of pictures, so I've divided it into two posts. By the way, the correct name of the festival is Patria del Gaucho.
The Marquoir group put out this little four part heart for a Mother's Day design. I completed the first part in an afternoon and really like the color choices for the design. Parts come out weekly.
I am done with part seven of Herz Rot Weiss! It's coming along pretty well, and I adore the color combination.
More countryside pictures from last month. I am -so- behind on everything. Anyway, here are some pictures of the train station at the town we stayed in for the Gaucho Festival. The town has maybe five houses... but it's also the birthplace of Gardel, the founder of tango, supposedly.
I finished up part five of the German group mystery. I still love the way it's looking.
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 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.
