Piggy progress and a bit of interlacing
Monday, June 22, 2009
So, I played with some interlacing:
It isn't quite like the stitch I was trying to replicate, but I found that was a bit chunky for this delicate stitch (you can click on the picture and zoom in if you're curious). I like it - and my daugher is proud that she picked the colors (she said the giraffe needed green around the edge).

Progress on my crazy quilt pig - which is my "big" project for the Rocky Mountain Crazy Quilters this year. the colors didn't turn out in the picture at all - it's a lime green with yellow and some other pinks and blues. It's not exactly what I wanted originally (I was doing ALL green) but I like the inserted embroidery animals. So, we'll see.
Eventually it will be a stuffed piggy - should be cute!
Other than that, we had a busy weekend, birthday parties, Street fairs and a lot of computer games. Fun! However, it's almost relaxing to get back to work. Happy Monday!

Wow the new look here is great! I love the orange background. And the piggy looks like it's going to be fun too.
This pig is going to steal the show!! It's Radiant! I too love the animals...And thanks for the lace book recommendation -- I've added it to my list...
