Beaver on Log Cabin and small doily



Rose Window is a pattern of Jon Yusoff. It can be a snowflake but I chose fall colors for Halloween display.



The beaver is the last applique of the forest animals on the Log Cabin Quilt. Should the trees be appliqued up through the center or make it look like it has branches??  Or just leave it as is???  There is a front tooth on off white but doesn't show.

Loons, Peacots and Las Vegas, NM


 
Baby loons are finished. Below is the lower half of the quilt.


Block one of the Sampler is completed.

 
Saturday our group of 6 ladies and 2 gents from Art League traveled to Las Vegas, New Mexico for a Walking tour of Artist Studios. Lots of beautiful paintings, jewelry, weaving and just plain fun!! Vegas is 100 miles North of Tucumcari, NM 
 


This was an interesting chair beautifully carved!



Love this rug pattern and would love to hook it.  Perhaps someday!

Mountain Goat, Loon and Peacock



Finished two more appliqued blocks to the Log Cabin Quilt.



Antique Sampler is a pattern of Ellen Maurer-Stroh. It was a block of Mo back in 2012. I knew I could work it on 14 ct but was not sure of 28 ct. Last year I purchased all the supplies but it still sat on the shelf reminding me to get started. A year later I am finally working on the sampler and very pleased with the results. It is not as bad as I thought but must use a magnify glass with good lighting. There are 4-5 different shades with each element and some blend in that one has to be on the ball!  As recommended I am using DMC from France using 3 strands on 28 ct linen.
