Valle Eden Railway Station

More countryside pictures from last month.  I am -so- behind on everything.  Anyway, here are some pictures of the train station at the town we stayed in for the Gaucho Festival.  The town has maybe five houses... but it's also the birthplace of Gardel, the founder of tango, supposedly.

Mystery Part Five

I finished up part five of the German group mystery.  I still love the way it's looking.

Faye's Celtic Block Done

Here's the picture of Faye's block empty a second time.  I finished it and the work I did is in the picture below.
There's a Celtic cross, a piece of Irish crochet, and a dragon charm.  I also did a couple of seams.  None of it's the knotwork the others have done on blocks, but I hope this other view of Celtic art is acceptable.

Darlene's Asian Block

Darlene picked a blue and white theme for her block.  Here it is before my work.
And here it is after my work.  I added a leaf outline, a yin yang symbol and blue cherry blossoms.  I also did a few seams.  I like the blue and white theme, so it was easy to work on.  I hope she likes the work.  One more person works on it before going back to her.
The green floss didn't come in this past week, so I ended up working on peaches next to the door.  Floss came in after I worked on it, though!  I can get Anchor here, but DMC is non-existent, and I've not found any fabric, even Aida, at all.  The only patterns I've seen have been in magazines.

My First Biscornu

I finally succumbed and made a finish into a biscornu.  I think it came out pretty well.  The back is blank, and the front is that Frimas design I finished last month.

The seventh part of Herz Rot Weiss from the Marquoir group is started.  I truly love these colors.  It looks sophisticated with the tracery.  I'm behind, but I'll get it done.
