I had this quilt top finished for quite a while, but never got around to doing anything with it. I'd promised a friend that I'd make her a quilt for her baby, so... she looked through my pieced quilt tops and picked this one. I didn't have time to hand quilt it last summer between moving and the shortness of time of a pregnancy, so I took it with me to the States and had a quilt shop in Shreveport quilt it for me. She did a really good job and it was very inexpensive! The only part of that I didn't like was that I had asked her not to bind it. I wanted to put an ecru lace on the edges. She bound it instead... these are the pictures my parents-in-law took of it before they shipped it off to Florine, who'd also moved in the meantime, for Alexandra. It got there just before she was born in October!
I am now officially on the seventeenth motif. Only seven more to go after this!
I've begun to turn the inside corner on the bottom left. I think I'm making faster progress on this one than I did the last two.
This ended up out of rotation after my move. Since I finished something else, I put it back in now. There's not all that much left to do on it - just the rest of the gold and then outlining. Another finish coming my way in the next couple months!
I offered to make temari for Christmas for people I knew - and told them to pick the colors. Nate picked blue and orange. I delayed makign it because, well, I'm not at all fond of orange. Buckled down and made it a little bit ago, and it turned out bright but okay.
Design is a C8 with triwings and kikus interwoven with squares.
I decided to couch down a piece of rickrack with chevron stitch. As it came together, I was bemused by how complex and lacking in structure it looked versus how easy it was to do.
Another crazy January start finished! This one was a bargello design from Janet Perry's club. The picture's a bit shifted to the yellow- the cuff is a baby pink color in person. Rather light coverage with the threads I used, but otherwise good. No idea how I'm going to finish this into an ornament yet.
