Colorful Baby

Our backyard was the location of a baby shower recently.  One of our friends, Florine, and her husband, are expecting their first child in October. Since they leave Uruguay in a few weeks, we decided to have a baby shower.  Instead of the usual games, we played "paint the baby clothes".  These are some of the results.  Every guest made something.  The rest will show up in posts over the next couple of days.







A Bit of Weaving

Since I was teaching Ana this pattern, I had to make it myself, too!  Here's my version.  I used kyo-temari thread and a 25 cm diameter ball.  I think it turned out pretty neat.

So Very Close

I am so close to being done!  Yay!  It's been pretty difficult working on 40 ct over two.  As you can see in the picture, I've been using a small quilting needle to do the actual stitching.

Square on Temari

 One more temari for gifting done.  This one was just playing with simple designs.  I think it came out pretty well.

One Flower in the Garden

One flower done; perhaps more will be coming soon.

A Bit More Black

It seems I catch up the red, then stitch more black, then catch up the red again.  Next time it looks like I'll be catching up on red.

Monogram Home

This was lost for a little while in my house - my maid had put it on a bookshelf, and I didn't know.  Anyway, finally, here's a picture!  Thank you, ladies, for all your work.  I also don't have a beginning picture because of my main puter being back at the manufacturer getting fixed.  This is home now, though.  It's time to make something of it!
