Sew I See!

The last FO in this batch is another Grace Fearon doily-- "Luna", which happens to be the name of one of our Eskies.  The thread is DMC Cébélia size 10, "437 Camel".  Another doily practically bursting with texture!  This would be a good one for working each section in a different color-- very clearly delineated bands of patterning.  (I've made a lot of progress whittling away at my stash of whole balls of single-color thread, but there are quite a few partial balls left over from other projects, so I might need to focus on patterns for small doilies and patterns that work well with multiple colors in the same doily.)

"Seraphina", designed by Grace Fearon. Worked in Artiste Mercerized Egyptian Cotton (size 10), "153 Silver Sage". The center/medallion portion of this pattern is gorgeous!

I just can't seem to keep this blog updated on a regular basis!  Occasional entries are better than none, though, and I can keep trying. I finished the "Punkin Patch" quilt top, but decided not to rush the quilting and binding, so I'm holding off on the photos for now. Progress on the "Lotus Moon" afghan came to a halt for a while-- first, because I had a ton of ends to weave in (and got a bit burned out as a result of those), and second, because I didn't want to figure out the color placement for the square motifs.  Eventually I bit the bullet, chose some colors, and crocheted them.  Now I'm back in end-weaving purgatory.  At least there are as many ends (or motifs!) in this batch, and when they're done, I'll be moving on to the triangles, then start joining it all together. As far as finished objects go, there are three newly blocked doilies to share.  I'm starting with "Calpurnia". - - - - - - - "Calpurnia&quo
