More Squares Done

I'm done with the latest three parts given me.  Time to push on for some more. 

Let's Dance

Been a Long Time

I started this quite a while ago (like - two years?) and, since I had a spot in my rotation, put it in.  It's got maybe one or two more sessions and it's done.  The design is Cassatt by Kick Back and Stitch.

Crowds Gather

This is a picture of the crowd early in the evening.  It only got more packed as the night wore on.  The pictures below are mainly of C1080, the comparsa group I consider the best in the competition this year.

Back in Bag

Truly, I'm being good.  As you can see, I haven't started the fourth panel yet.  Got another couple of stripes done, though.

Start the Llamadas

 The Llamadas parade, held in the first half of February every year.  It's only comparsas, not the other groups that are in the Inaugural parade, so you just feel the drums in your bones.  We were on a rooftop and so weren't crushed by the crowd.  The first couple of pictures are of confetti and doodad sellers getting ready for the parade.  The rest are the beginning!

Winding Down the Row

Still working on this first row, but you can see that the next few will go faster, as there's some stitched on them too.  At least I'm more than halfway now!
