SECOND ROUND ATTEMPT

 I started making the next round.  After several hours of sewing, the process was becoming tedious.  So, I put what I had up on the wall to see how they looked.  I decided No.  I don't like it and I'm going to try something else.

RABBIT PILLOW

 I finally got all of the things and tools that I needed to turn my Rabbit needlepoint into a pillow.  

Here it is, it's done.  And I like it!  It will be living on our bed during the day now.

FINISHED FIRST ROUND

 It took a while and a lot of fussing and fiddling, but I've got that first border all the way around and sewn on.  And I'm thinking bout the next border.

JELLY TURNS ELEVEN

 Today is Jelly's 11th Birthday.

Happy Birthday Jelly!

ROUND TWO OF R & R

 Here is my start of the first round of Round and Round with Maria Shell.  I tried a square on point but it was not looking right.  So, I trashed that idea.  And I started making some Beads on a String.

FINISH NUMBER TEN

 I made the bias binding and sewed it onto the previously quilted "Sing Your Song" baby quilt.

So it is complete!  

It is Finish #10 for the year.

This is a small quilt, 27" by 35" made from a small Charm Pack of only 24 5" squares interspersed with a dark grey Kona and quilted by computer on my B24 longarm.

ROUND 1 OF ROUND AND ROUND

 I'm taking a month long workshop with Maria Shell.  The workshop is called Round and Round and we will be making Medallion quilts.  On this first week we were asked to make a sketch or a plan for our medallion, to pick a palette of fabrics and make our center block.

I want a rectangular quilt, not a square one.  It adds a degree of difficulty!

My fabrics, so far.  Most of these colors are not showing up correctly.  Oh well.

My center block.  It took me several days to make all of those tiny 1" HSTs.

 

RABBIT FINISHED

 I've been waiting for the extra yarn I required to finish this needlepoint.  I received it in the mail today and finished weaving it in and am declaring this needlepoint finished.

It is called Leap and I got it through Ehrman Tapestries.  It is soon to become a pillow.
