Little Bits of Petals

Only little bits of petals to go before I actually start on the tiny dragon. It's about time.

 

Making Zig Zags

There is a bit of a pyramid on each side, so I have started them. This is the last bit before finishing, yay!

 

Red and White

All the red background is done, so I have started on the white. 

 

Will the Skirt Ever End?

I know I am coming to the end of the skirt - I've even stitched some wheat- but sometimes it doesn't feel like it. I have about 30 more rows of skirt.

 

Sewscription June

More orange in this box, too, but it's a jelly roll and has blue. I will definitely be able to do something with it.

 

Seen on the Street

 A little robo delivery machine wandering around central Warsaw.

 

April Sewscription

A lot of the stuff I've been receiving is so -orange-. It's a color I'm not fond of, but I guess I'll treat it like a challenge. But first, I need to find time to clean off my sewing machine.

 

Older Than Movies

 

Imagine yourself on the inside of a cylinder, with the walls painted as a single subject in front of you. That's what this panorama is in Wroclaw. You climb a stairway and there's a viewing platform. This is about a battle in Poland's peasant war. 
Originally there were a total of six of these panoramas in the 1890's. This is the only one left. It was transferred out of Lviv after the first world war.

Stash For Making Quilt Tops

I've been buying fabric lately; time to do something with it.

 

Little Quilty

Betsy made a wonderful quilting design on this! Now I have to bind it. I think it'll make a good small wall hanging.

 

Little Pyramid

As usual, when I finally sat down to finish this, it was much easier than I anticipated. It's all made up now!



 

Half a Maze

I've got half my maze outlined now. And have reached the bottom!

 

Getting a Belly

my little green frog's belly is almost done.

 

Encompassed

My compass rose is done. I need to make it into an ornament. Luckily, Andreas got me a new circle cutter!

 

One Flamingo

One of three flamingos almost done. I will have this finished before the end of September.

 

Nieborow Lunch

 

A restaurant with militaria! Naturally we had to stop and eat. Food was very good. This place is right around the corner from Nieborow Palace. Food was also plentiful.

Birches Done

This came out nice. I will be framing it soon, I believe.

 

Big Germ

The big germ is about done. And some bars and squiggles on the side.

 

Still on Second Side

Nearly halfway down the second side and a bit more stitching done on crennelations.

 

New Bags

One, a shadow black, is missing because I was using it. The green one in front I ordered specifically because I really like the color.

 

Projekt Strzelnica Krakow

Andreas and I had a nice after work dinner at Projekt Strzelnica when we were in Krakow. I even at some of the beets! They were cooked in orange juice, and that made them edible to me. The duck and the burger were very good, as were the "dumplings" above.





 

Little Ornament Ready to Gift

These colors remind me of Uzbekistan, and since that is a place the recipient loves, I think this will be a perfect gift.
