Belated Posting

I made this a few months ago as part of a quilt for someone sick.  The idea was for several of us to come together and stitch biscornu fronts and backs for someone to put together into a quilt.  These two squares are one of my two biscornu for the project.  They were done with a French perle cotton on linen.  The recipient just got her quilt on Friday!

Exchange Temari

I sent this temari off to Jean in Canada for the Tanabata GITS.  She's gotten it, so I can post it now.  It represents the bamboo and river that's crossed in the legend.  Anyway... it's got a mix of geometric stuff and free embroidery.

A Teaching Temari

A few weeks ago, I started teaching temari to a Uruguayan friend.  I started this during her beginning lesson, and she made her own.  She's becoming a temari ace.  Anyway, I finished mine for the big ornament thing I do at Christmas.

First Part Done

Here's a picture of the first part of the Sticklounge logo, Odds and Ends by Tam, all done.  It's not as colorful as some other people's, but it's cheerful in its own way.

On to the Finish Line

I'm working on the last part of this now, and it's coming along pretty well.  I'll have it finished in another week.

Yet More Skirting

Still doing the browns for the skirt.  I actually have some of the bottom edge done.

Journal for Betsy

She got her birthday present, so I get to show it off here!  I made a journal cover for Andreas' mom.  Originally, the fabric was to be a piece I'd handwoven, but the maid found it on the ironing board (with the beige square already on it) and decided it needed washing.  When it came out of the washer, it wasn't suitable for the journal anymore, having frayed quite a bit and gotten too small.  So, I came up with a plan B!  The green is dupioni silk, and the square is a little square I stitched up a while back to make into an ornament.  The journal cover directions are here. 

Here's the inside.  The butterfly fabric is also the inner lining, which can be reversed and become the outer shell.

The back.
