Passiflora Finished!

I am slowly crossing off the 2011 Crazy January list.  This is one more done!  I got the kit from Stitch Direct; the pattern was originally in New Stitches.  I think the fabric on this really sets it off.  Now to make it into a cushion!

Tired

I am pretty tired of this piece at this point.  It could be that I'm in between focal points and just doing minor variations every row.

Roses Block Done

Yellow roses everywhere!  Thank you ladies for doing a great job on my block!  Now to finish it into a quilt and donate it for raising money for Texas firefighters.  I hope it earns them a nice little bit.

Pointy Towers

There are a few rooftops poking up now.  It feels like I'm really making progress.  How do I keep that feeling going?

Rhoding In A Column

More of the usual cross stitch on the bottom, but I've now started to put in Rhodes stitch columns in between the doors on top.  The instructions didn't say what to do them in, which is why they'd not yet been done.  I decided that Waterlilies Pearl was meant, so I went for it.

All Stitched Up

I finished and mailed out this biscornu at the end of January.  I like how it turned out, even with all the fussy bits.  Am thinking of making it again, but with variegated threads from Cosmo.  Have them all picked out an with the chart; just need to find a place in my rotation.

Starting On The Bottom

There's one more layer of motifs on this, then it's done.  Discounting the background, I'm over halfway there.  I like the look of this, but have no idea of what I am going to do with it.
