Pale April

So maybe April is the month where the yellow wasn't a good idea.  The outline, plus the chick-to-be, is in a very similar color to the background.  We'll see as I go along.  Not changing fabric now.

A Bit Of A Stitchalong

I'm doing this with my chapter.  We're doing Nicola Jarvis kits together!  This one is Apple Blossom.  I've already started outside the lines, though, by not overlapping my fishbone stitches over the outline.  I like the way it looks, so all twelve of the leaves will get the same treatment.

Back To Temari

This is the first temari I've made here in Angola.  It's a present for a friend with a temari collection - he'd been stationed in Japan.  It came out pretty well, I think.

Flowering Away

The sunflowers are coming along, as is  the sky behind them.

Coloring And Collaging

I have a bit more of the peacock tail done and have started adding leaves to the left again.  I like that it's coming along and looking like a real picture now.

Gifted

This month's subscription of Field Notes was bright, sunny colors.  Andreas decided they were much more me than him, so... they're mine.

Slowly I Stitch

This band is quite dense, so it takes time to do it.  I'm almost a third of the way across, though, so it's coming along.
