Moldovan Textiles

These pictures were taken last summer at the Moldovan National Museum.  Andreas just now processed the pictures so I could show them to you, though.  All pieces here have been hand embroidered or crocheted by Moldovans and are exquisite pieces of art.

Doesn't Look Like Much

 I'm part of another round robin; it's a step by step one.  In this, we each do a single step on each block.  My assignment for this block was to put basic embellishments on the seams.  I did that, and now it's off to someone else to do more work for the seams.

Quartered

I have the first quarter of the piece almost done.  I really like the look of it so far.

Egged

 I finished my purple egg.  I think it came out pretty well.

On To The Border

After finally getting the corner motif finished, I'm working on the bottom border now.  I'm feeling the pressure of starting this so late.

After The Tulips

 The daffodils started blooming a good ten days after the tulips.  I don't know what was up with that.  Anyway, the daffodils look beautiful, and you can see the tulips are already past their peak.

Looks Like Forest

I think this sampler is filling out nicely and is getting much closer to being done.  It's well balanced, too, and I think it'll make a very beautiful pillow.
