Beautiful Needlebook

Thank you Lynn!  I love this exchange needlebook from Lynn through the BBI Yahoogroup.  It's lovely stitching and so well put together.  She also sent me some really cute ladybug beads and a couple of skeins of Hand Dyed Fibers silks.  Thank you so much, and I'm sorry the postal system had such a hard time getting it here.

Riding the Wave

I am getting on with the second rectangle.  Can't start a third until I've got the top row done, and I'm a bit over halfway to that.  Maybe I'll have the stitching done by the end of the year or earlier at this rate.  Only a bit more than two and a half more rectangles to go.

Getting to the Point

I'm on the end of the third row of parts, and in this one I get to add the third point to the pattern.  I'm almost there, and this part's even halfway done!

Quakerchen Done

It's done, and I really like it.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this yet, but I'm happy I have it done.

Pirouette's Done!

I finished stitching my Pirouette in Purple from Sweetheart Tree!  I like how it turned out, and I think it'll make a darling pinkeep ornament.

Another Block Back

Not only did I get my Asian block back, in the same mailbag I got my Bees, Butterflies and Beetles block, too!  Here it is in the condition I sent it out in January.  I had lots of butterflies on the block and lots of color.

And here it is how I got it back.  I'm really happy with it - it's gorgeous.  So many pretty bugs and flowers!  Thank you ladies!

It's Beautiful and It's Home

Back in January I sent this block off as you see it in this picture.  It was for the Asian round robin, and I presented a bit of a difference to the others - I didn't pick east Asia.  I picked western Asia and asked for an Arabian nights block.

Here it is after I got it back.  Isn't it beautiful?  I love it!  I'm even happy with the belly dancer silkie, although normally I abhor them.  It fits with the rest so well.  Thank you thank you for doing this block so well!  I have another that is Arabian, and I think I'm going to put them into a wall hanging together.  Thank you so much for the lovely block!
