Temporarily Squared Up

Getting more of the outlines done.  The end is in sight!  In the meantime, the center's square again.  Boring, boring, boring, but I'm being a good girl and not doing any of the fun stuff until this is done.

A Rectangle Done!

I finally finished the first of four rectangles!  I think it looks good, and the second one is well started.  Now to speed it up.

Silk Ribbon Block for Candji

And here it is after I got done.  I added a floral bouquet and her initial.  I also did a few seams.  I hope she likes it.  It's off to Australia now.

This is actually Candji's second block.  The postal office ate the first one.  So, we're playing catch up.  I had about a week to work on it.  Here's how it looked like after I got it.

A Bit More Color

This week I added some flowers to the backstitching under the line, added more of the line, and put some color in the latticework on the top left.  I was busy!

Quakerchen the Third

Here's the third part of the little quakerchen.  It only takes me a couple of hours, at most, to stitch each part.  Halfway there.

Garagede

The village has another building - the garage/stable on the top right.  I also got some work done on the crenellated structure on top of it and finished the light brown house on top, too.  Even the middle building got some work.

May Day Exchange

An exchange from Jacque!  She made this beautiful sachet for me and gave me three silk skeins.  I sent her the pillow I posted a few weeks back and some silks, different kinds, too.  Whatever we sent had to have a ribbon, so we both succeeded.  The sachet is going in my clothing drawer.  Thank you Jacque!
