Those From Italy

 These in the black and red are from Italy.  It's an organization similar to our Knights of Columbus.  No idea why they ended up in Moldova for this, but they did raise a lot of money for the Don Bosco center while they were there.

Squaring Off

Making the first star square now, as it goes on.  Happy the star itself is done, but it's harder to count when the designer deliberately has you stitch one thread off sometimes.

Getting Denser

One length of thread on each side yields some more stitching toward the center.  It's looking more full.

Lonely Beach

Photos of Fort Lauderdale beach at night.  In the distance, you can see the container ships waiting to go to port.

Presenting Themselves

Each of the groups in the parade was presented to the crowd.  They came from seven or eight different countries, most in eastern Europe.

Leaves Done And Petaling Along

Hurray!  I'm done with leaves!  One petal almost done, and then on to the last one...

More Green

So slowly I am getting this middle picture done.  More green this time, with a touch more pink and some beige.
