A Bit More Color

This week I added some flowers to the backstitching under the line, added more of the line, and put some color in the latticework on the top left.  I was busy!

Quakerchen the Third

Here's the third part of the little quakerchen.  It only takes me a couple of hours, at most, to stitch each part.  Halfway there.

Garagede

The village has another building - the garage/stable on the top right.  I also got some work done on the crenellated structure on top of it and finished the light brown house on top, too.  Even the middle building got some work.

May Day Exchange


An exchange from Jacque!  She made this beautiful sachet for me and gave me three silk skeins.  I sent her the pillow I posted a few weeks back and some silks, different kinds, too.  Whatever we sent had to have a ribbon, so we both succeeded.  The sachet is going in my clothing drawer.  Thank you Jacque!

Still Skirting

I've started some of the bottom ribbon, but I'm still working on the skirt.  That means more brown, surprise.

Still More Pattern

I am now down to the wire on this.  I have three months to finish all the rest of the pattern, so I'll be working on it daily.  At least I'm about halfway done.  Some people are even farther behind.

Tentacles Down

This week, I finished all the stitching on the tentacles of the third jellyfish.  I have one more step for this jellyfish, which should go quickly, and then I get to start a new one!
