Fill and Outline

More outlining and a bit of fill on the bottom.  It at least looks less bare than last time.

Dinner For Four At El Greco

 In mid-October, four of us went to dinner at El Greco.  I had soup; Andreas had a gyro,  Kent and I had chicken shish, and Jenn had something that I forgot the name of, but was good.  As usual, the zeama was full of white meat with a flavorful and full of body broth.  No dill to be found, either!  For some reason, they put french fries in the gyros here at all the restaurants.  I think they do it because it's a cheap filling.  Other than that, the gyro was good.  The chicken was not dry, but well cooked and flavorful.

Three Of Four

Three of four boring squares done!  Maybe I can start the fun parts soon.

Great Fabric

I now have four yards of this fabric.  It's beautiful.  Now to figure out what to do with it!

Chisinau Wine Festival

 In mid-October, Chisinau held its wine festival over a weekend.  Very many vintners and wineries set up booths, and some even had free samples.  That last probably explains the huge crowds.  We didn't stay long, as Andreas hates crowds, but I would have liked to explore more.  Also notable, Purcari set up a stage on one side and a dining area for VIPs on the other, creating a major choke point.  Maybe next year I'll just leave Andreas at home and explore at my own pace.

Rural Moldova From A Russian Viewpoint

This link is to a Russian view of Moldova that's definitely biased.  On the other hand, there are a lot of beautiful pictures and very little commentary.  The photos are of rural Moldova, which I don't show often here.

Definitely Halfway

I am finally working on the upper half of this motif.  I'll be so relieved when it's done!  I've been working on this sampler nearly every day for the past year.
