Potholder, Batik Cascade, Ocean Waves, Around the Town, Joy of Computer Work, Step Afghan

Quilting:

I finished all of the flying geese blocks for Around the Town by Dawna Baker and decided how they will be arranged in the border.



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




I also finished the first potholder/oven mitt. Not my best work, but not too bad for some old wonky blocks made when I was still learning how to piece. At least they'll be useful now.





Cross Stitch:
I did some more stitching 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. I didn't do any work on the text this week.



Swedish Weaving:

I did some more work on the towel based on Ocean Waves from Learn to Make Monk’s Cloth Afghans by Marilyn T. Magly.



Crochet:
Finally, I pulled out the step afghan again and did some more work on it.

Kitty Cocktail, Market Day, Batik Cascade, Joy of Computer Work, Around the Town

Quilting:
I've finished the top for Market Day, a sew-along by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts. I decided to stop after the first border. I'll bind it with the same dark green solid as in the corner & center triangles, and the back will be a dark purple solid. All of the lights except for the one with the purple leaves and all of the blacks are from Pam's American Gothic fabric line.



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




I sewed half of a flying geese unit for Around the Town by Dawna Baker.



Cross Stitch:
I did some more stitching 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. I didn't do any work on the text this week.



Finally, I finished stitching Kitty Cocktail, a Mini-Kats™ design by Linda Connors of Calico Crossroads®, adapted from the artwork of Kathleen Kelly of Kats by Kelly™.
