Winter Flowers

The same technical problem that didn't let me show the beginning block for the last one won't for this one.  My new computer has a hardware problem and is sitting at the manufacturer's.  I don't know when I'll get it back.  In the meantime, this is the last of the series of round robin blocks I had.  It's Ritva's winter block and is on its way to her.

The Perfect Temari Bag

Ana made this beautiful bag for me.  It's the perfect size for putting a temari project in, and it's so cute!  The bag's lined with the floral print fabric you can see on the front.  Thanks, Ana!

A Few More Rows to Go

Still have about ten more rows to go on page one, but I've made a few little forays into pages two and four.  I stitch so slowly!

Thank You Sussy!

Sussy gave me some nice bits of lace to put into crazy quilting last week.  Aren't they pretty?  Thank you Sussy!

Six Parts Done

It took me three rotations, but I finally finished log six.  Log seven looks like less actual work.  Adding the satin stitches to this last one made a huge difference.  The pattern called for them to be pulled, but between my hand injury and that I didn't think it'd look as good, I left them as regular satin stitches.

Back to the Street

A bit more street, a bit more house.

Started Down the Rhodes...

I am on the final step of specialty stitches for part four.  I just need to put Rhodes stitches in all the rectangles along the outside.  Still have a -lot- of stitching on part five, though, since I'm not even halfway through.  The other top corner gets similar treatment to what I've stitched on the left.
