Still on the Bottom

I am almost done with the first half of the bottom strip.  So close to being completely finished!

Other Gift Biscornu Part

Here's the other biscornu I made for the gift quilt.  It's an adaptation of a needlepoint design called "Captured Hearts".  I think it came out pretty well.

A New Round Robin - Asian Again

Crazy Quilting International has started a bunch of round robins again, and I've joined in.  The first I've worked on is Asian themed, and this is Darlene's blue and white block.  Since I was the first to work on it, here it is completely naked.

And here it is after my work.  I added a huge flower, a pagoda, a bonsai, and a couple of beaded motifs I made myself.  I also did several seams. 

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.
