Quilting:

I finished the flying geese unit for Around the Town by Dawna Baker that I was working on last week and sewed half of another.

I did some more quilting on Batik Cascade (Batik Go-Round) by Karen Combs.

Blackwork:

I finally finished stitching the Blackwork Chessboard by Anne MacGregor.  This was my first blackwork project. It's also the last time I'll ever use rayon floss -- horrible slippery stuff that tangles and knots far too easily. There's supposed to be running stitches inside the borders of the blank squares; I'll use those as the quilting when I finish the project.

My next blackwork project is Da Capo by Elizabeth Almond.  I couldn't find an online picture of this one.

I made a bit of progress on Joy of Computer Work which is based on artwork by Randal Spangler and adapted to cross stitch by Michele Sayetta of Heaven and Earth Designs.
