Blending It

I did quite a few scotch stiches this week, all the same color too. They were the middle color of the five pinks. Although I'm only just over a third of the way through the thirty pages of instructions, I -think- I'm over halfway through the actual stitches. It looks more than half covered to me, at least. We'll see.

Bibendum's Got Bike

Yup, this week I started Bibebdum's bike. He's going to be styling away soon, and I'm soon to be done. I'm guessing he'll be complete by Labor Day.

Making a Motif

The central area got a lot of work this week as I added in most of the color that was supposed to be a solid DMC. I substituted a Vikki Clayton variegated. I think it looks pretty good in there. Anyway, there's a -lot- to part one, and the group ends in a week, so I'd better get working more.

Romantic Block Done

Yay, another finish this month! This is Vera-Ellen's block and it's smaller than the rest of the group's. As you can see, there wasn't much space to work with, so I did what I could.

I added blue flowers on the diagonal to balance each other out, outlined the ribbon with beads, added a spray of irises, and did the top seam treatment. It's a pretty full block now and will be sent back to the owner today.

Started the Second Egg

Yes, the second of four of these eggs is started, and I've begun the outlines between the eggs, too. Maybe I'll concentrate a bit more on this when I'm caught up on the crazy quilting and my stitchalongs.

See the Stars Part Four Complete

Yay, I finished part four. Now I just need to get part five done before the end of the month and I'm all caught up. I adore how the colors are coming together on this. It's something I'll definitely keep and treasure when done.

Almost Measled Out

After this week, I have all of two or three more measles, or rather cherries, to go! It's getting much closer to being done every week, but I thought I'd have it completed much sooner.
