LANDSCAPE RR-LYN'S, I'M BACK-PART 2

Before I left for our cruise, I had Lyn's Landscape II block to do. I didn't want to rush through it, so I asked her permission to bring it with me. This was a pretty big block, and Lyn had said she did not expect it to come back finished. Lyn had also asked that we incorporate these little face charms into our work. I had taken some threads and fibers to make a tree, but after visiting 2 of the yarn fiber shops and finding some wonderful nubby yarns, in brown and green, I was really inspired.

Every morning we were on ship, I would go up to the Explorations Internet/library section of the ship, which had a large table I could spread out on, and work. Ladies, and men, would stop by and inquire about what I was working on, sometimes everyday I was there, and would follow my progress.


This is the tree I made, plus I did the 2 little bushes beside it. I also stitched along the top of the green fabric.












As I was the last person working on this block, and she had 1 face left, I made a toadstool to incorporate the face into.












This is the whole block, on its way home to Lyn today.

LANDSCAPE RR-SIMONA'S BLOCK

Last week, I had the pleasure of working on Simona's landscape block. This is the whole block. I was the second person to work on it, 1st person having worked on the sky, which is hard to tell from my poor photography.

I decided her landscape needed a tree, and I added a cherry blossom tree.

















Here is a little bit more detail on what I did. I also added the sequin flowers, and the stitching on the patches around the tree.

Kyleigh's Wallhanging, Landscape II RR


I finished up this little wallhanging for granddaughter Kyleigh for Easter and put it in her Easter basket. The stitchery was a kit I bought a number of years ago. It was one of Lynette Anderson's designs called The Bees Garden Stitchery. I finished the stitchery several months ago, and finally finished it up last week.












I am starting in a new CQ RR. This one is a landscape theme. I took a watercolor I had painted a number of years ago, and cropped the house and designed the landscale and where the path would come off the house. By the time I got around attaching the house, to the path it is sort of crooked, but I didn't have time to take the whole thing apart. I need to send it out today.

I am going to make a tea cozy out of this project so I have a back and a front. This one is the front.





And this is the back side.
