Another Frogging Experience


I had to redo most of the sweep down on the west side - it was off and I discovered the mistake this week. I've been doing a lot more frogging than I've been happy with lately. I did make progress and now it's fixed, so it'll all come together soon. I'm almost at the point on this where I just sit down and finish it.

Lining Up


I'm back to working on the Christmas Mystery since it's got a lot of parts and I was chastized for not making more progress before Christmas on it. So, I started part four. It's coming along pretty quickly.

Christmas Crackers


I had a bit of a problem making these for an exchange on my crazy quilting group, but I finally finished them. My sewing machine decided it didn't like overseas travel and died, so I had to hand piece both blocks. The note tied onto each block is a picture of the place where I bought some of the things here in Uruguay. Both blocks were sent last Friday and are winging their way to the US and Canada, respectively. I hope their owners-to-be like them!

A Hidden Finish


I participated in the fall exchange on the BBInteractive YahooGroup this year, and sent this to my partner. She's received it, so I can post it now. The pattern was off of a French freebie site, and I like the way the thread turned out. It looks like fall to me.

Reaching the Bottom


Blue's almost done on the lower left lines and the other side of the acanthus is started in the bottom egg. Some more of the background got done this week, too.

So Close and Upside Down


For the past month, I've been using a computer that's not mine. Mine's in the Dell shop getting repaired. Luckily, it's still under warranty. So I can't rotate this picture for you as I normally would. It's Tiramisu, of course, but upside down. It's also showing that I'm on the very last band. So close to being done! Next time I work on it, it's finished.

Tenth Done


Ten parts done now. It's looking pretty good, although this picture is somewhat dark. Now on to part eleven...
