Close Enough to Get Inside!

More car close ups, but the last picture is the best.  It's of my son actually sitting in one of the Jaguars that had raced earlier.  Talk about giving the fans something special! Thank you Jaguar LeMans Team!







More or Less

I added some stitching to both sides of the blossom, making it more done and less lopsided.

The Wonder of Watercolours

This is a simple 8 point kiku done on a largish ball, but I think the design looks elegant.  I used Watercolours thread from Caron.  This one's color is Potpourri, and it reminds me of Christmas.  I've been using Watercolours a lot for my temari lately because I love the way it looks, and it doesn't kink or tangle easily.

Oh So Close

You can get so much closer to the cars and their crews in a LeMans pit... these pictures show it.






Another Block of Roses

Top is a picture of Cathy's block as I received it.  Bottom is after my work.  For some reason, this block didn't speak to me at all, and I had a hard time coming up with stuff to put on it.  I hope she likes what I did.

Other Half, Second Band

Is definitely started.  Now to finish it and catch up to where other people are.

Working on the Stripes

This looks to be almost halfway done.  For some reason, I haven't gotten the middle-of-the-project blues with this one.  It might be because it's a small piece.
