The Fish Did It!, Gilt Sun, Batik Cascade

Cross Stitch:

I've started yet another new project. This one's The Fish Did It! by Michelle Lutzen of Stitchy Kitty. The colors are a bit different from the model because she used Crescent Colours hand-dyed floss and I'm using the DMC substitutions. I did however use the recommended hand-dyed fabric.

I also did some more work on Gilt Sun (designer unknown) by Landmark Tapestries and Charts.

Quilting:

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

At last, a blog post! I was sick with a nasty virus for a couple of weeks and just wasn't up to blogging. I'm feeling better now.

I'm still working on the first block of Hidden Stars. I had to stop mid-seam because I was feeling unwell and never did get it finished.

I've pulled out yet another UFO. This one's Gilt Sun (designer unknown) by Landmark Tapestries and Charts (who I can't find any info on at all). Here's what I had already done:

And here's what I got done this week:

December's here and it's time to work on a Christmas project. I'm doing the Tiny Stockings ornaments designed by Jorja Hernandez again. I've started the one that says Peace on Earth.

I also began piecing my first quilt design. I designed this and bought all the fabric for it ages ago, but I'm only just now starting to actually make it. I took an existing traditional (I think) quilt block and played around with it to create my own block. Or, quilt designs being what they are, I may just have reinvented the wheel. At any rate, I'm saying it's mine unless I find out otherwise. I'm calling it Hidden Stars because there are no stars in the block itself, but when the blocks are sewn together the stars appear. Here's what I've got done so far:
