Done With The Blues

I finished another challenge piece!  This one's even a twofer, since it's part of my crazy January challenge and was the petite project of the January CyberStitchers meeting.  All done now.  I feel smug!

Ten Done

The tenth part is done now; it was rather a smaller half band, and so didn't take all that long!

Quilted!

 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!

On To Seventeen

I am now officially on the seventeenth motif.  Only seven more to go after this!

Turning the Corner

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.

Back In The Rotation

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!

Delayed Temari

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.
