Collided

I've been feeling rather like I'm behind on everything, so finishing this gave me a small boost.  I finally got the metallic thread I was waiting for and it took me less than an hour total.  All done!  Thank you Tam for a cute design.

Squishified

I won the January Challenge in the Crazy Quilting International group and my prize came a couple of weeks ago.  All these things photographed fit into one sandwich-sized ziploc!  Thank you!

My Seams Are Done!

I got my seams only blocks back!  I'm so excited about how beautiful they look.  Thank you so much, ladies, for your exquisite work.  I need to do up the last one and then make them all into a wondrous wall hanging!

Another Initial

The initials on this square were pretty blocky when I got it, so I decided to add some curves.  One more set of initials, a lace motif, and a couple of seams later, the results are below.  It's already with the next person to work on it.

Take a Step to the Right...

Still working on the Quaker Star as my second Sticklounge daily project.  It's coming along, but I'm feeling bogged down nonetheless.  Definitely more than halfway now!

Little More Glitz

Although I put in about three lengths of floss, the only part that truly shows up is the braid on the lower right.

Another Dinner Out

A couple of weeks ago we had dinner out at Terracotta, a rather nice and not too pricey restaurant a few blocks away.  I had the chicken brochettes with dried tomatoes and leeks (opposite), and Andreas had the Kassler ( a smoked pork chop), pictured below.  Both were good, but the Kassler was a bit too salty.
