To the Edge

I made it to the edge of page one!  There's still a huge amount to do, but at least I now have the parameters delineated.

Gaucho Festival Parade Part 1

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.

A Small Stitchlong Start

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.

And Seven Down

I am done with part seven of Herz Rot Weiss!  It's coming along pretty well, and I adore the color combination.

Valle Eden Railway Station

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.

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.
