TAG Sunshine and Flowers
Just a small little thing that was so much fun....it took all of an hour....i still have to do the back....the front here is crayoned and embellished with just the simplest of embroidery.....it;s how i want to see relations between people, how I wish we all felt as we enter the day.....
05 18 07 Postcard for Christmas-tree
This is the front of a Christmas postcard. It definitely is going to get more stuff on the background....i wasn;t going to do it...but i just can;t stand all the white space!
05 18 07 Postcard-Leaves
This was originally meant to be a breather between working on as yet unfinished postcards. The others are very complex and i wanted something simple. I was going to use it as the front of a birthday card. Everytime i see it -it looks so empty....lol....it may get more stitching.
05 18 07 Postcard- TAST-Fly stitch
Just something i played around with in dribs and drabs as i could find the time in between running the line at work.....
Playing with Textiles..(.05 18-07)
Ribbonwiz is otherwise known as Julia....and this is probably my most favortie one of her pieces.....to me it looks like an old painting that has accrued patina and meaning.....i can't wait to see it finished...it is being beaded(as you can see)...it's a largish piece . Truly I am in love with this!

05 08 07 Susan H's block
alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062388660935135058" />ON the left is Janie J/s silk ribbon flower spray and on the right Susan's initial done by me. I also did the top patch on the block.
This is an overview of the whole block.
This is the fan that Janie J. put on the block. It is really cool! I love the tassel. She also embroidered a small fan on the other sie of the block and Susan N and i added a little bit to it.
These are the fargo roses and the spider web roses that Sue CQ did....you gotta see them in person!
Susan Nixon's work..she did the filed of flowers and the ruffly silk ribbon border to the print that Susan H. pieced in. The ribbon on the ruffles is actually a much darker shade of yellow, a real true sunflower yellow. I wish I was better at taking pictures with my camera.

04 04 06Bluebells
Here's another flower that i think would just make incredible Ailk ribbon or mainpulated fabric ....wouldn;t a cluster of these be amazing! And of course the live ones in my garden!

040307 CQ RR-Jane C.s work on SueCQ's block
Isn;t this just gorgeous! Jane C. hand-dyed the lace and did everything else as well except for the roses on the right side.....that lace is so great on there...just picks up the colors in the print !
This round robin is going so nicely...I'm so happy to be doing it...some of us have known each other for about 10 years now and a couple of us are newly found friends.
I hope we can keep doing the rr for a long long time...just keep sending blocks around till they are full..lol.......
for my friends that are getting redy to celebrate Easter...good wishes to you.

032407 TAST -Couching
This is 6 by 4 inches, with navy blue flannel for the background. The fuzzy threads have all been couched with beads, fly stitch, herringbone stitch and a french knot here and there. The french knot couching is not very visible due to the fuzziness of the threads. Pretty fun....... VBG

03 22 07 In Memory of Jesse Fur-kid
Below are some pictures and a memoriam to the beloved cat of a friend.She includes the url to the Petloss page containing the poem"Rainbow Bridge". I know all of us that have had the companionship of a four-legged friend cry when we read this. Check out the rest of the site too.... and while you are at it, pop over to Kenmaur's Corner and let Maureen C. know you sympathise.The link is on the sidebar.

The Rainbow Bridge
Last evening I had to make the heartbreaking decision to send Jesse across the Rainbow Bridge........
The report from his Vet was that he had a particularly aggresive tumour on his lower left jaw, which would require particularly severe surgery just to try and remove it.I felt it was unfair to cause him more trauma and discomfort .....he deserved to die with dignity.
Our caring and sympathetic Vet sent Jesse on his final journey as he snuggled in my arms .
Jesse was a major part of our family for nearly 16 years,being first saved from being a street kid as a young kitten by our daughter,and then as her circumstances changed,coming to live with us some eight years ago.
Jesse was an incredible personality.........totally cool about everything;nothing fazed him and he didnt have a mean bone in his body; cheeky,mischevious and King of our other three cats.
If he had one fetish,it was shoes!
As soon as one of his humans shed their shoes,Jesse was into them----rolling, wrestling, cuddling, and finally sleeping on them.
He was true foreman material.whatever his humans were doing,he had to check out that it was being done properly.
Billie,his "brother" for 14 years would have been waiting for him last night at Rainbow Bridge.
Thanks Jesse for your company;you will be sadly missed
