Background Started

I decided to do the background in scotch stitch with Hudson Bay Wildflowers.  The look is right about what I want so far.

Growing Some Grass

The grass grows on the top left corner, while on the bottom left I slog at walls again.

Just a Ball

Another temari, trying out a swirly design.  Not very good at them yet!

Salsa Temari

 This temari was another prize for a crazy quilting challenge.  The winner likes hot colors.  I hope these are warm enough for her.  Pattern is two three petal renzoku patterns interlocked with one another.   The thread is a shade of Watercolours and three shades of DMC pearl #5.

Top Robin

At least, the robin has a top now.  About a fourth of the way done with this project already!

The Tasting Cellar

 Surrounded by bottles and bottles of wine, a tasting table and very nice service.  They had wine from other countries, too.  None, sadly, from Uruguay.  We ended up buying some bottles of rose, ice wine, and port before we left.

Big Red Splotches

Still not done with the background around the tail, but at least I hav a bunch of light red splotches under it now.  Faster stitching later, right?
