Here is what I am working on for R3 it is the second one in a set of three. The first one is done picture posted in an earlier post.(cq block #1 done) This is what I am working on now. Still using the TAST for help

Three sisters update

Just wanted to update everyone on the Three Sisters Legacy Quilting.
We have almost finished round one. I think it is going great!! I just finished Kathe's today and will get it into the mail this week. (Peek at the photo) As soon as I get mine back I will add round one and the beginning of round 2 YAHOO!!!
I think all of them are just wonderful. I am now working on the second one for round 2 hope to finish it this week and start #3.

TAST FEATHER STITCH

Here is the Feather stitch. I did use this in the seam treatment, It is hard to see because of the colors. I added some bead work and colonial knots for the grapes, Also detached chain for the leaves.

TAST FLY STITCH

Here I am late again!! I have had this done but have not gotten it posted. So I will try to catch up now...I have used the fly sitich to do the stems and small leaves in small ribbon work.

OT--- I HATE BIRTHDAYS!!!---

OK I am going to get off topic today, I guess it will be alright once in a while.

Today is my Birthday, it is one of those days that you are glad you made it to, but you wish everyone would quit reminding you that you are OLD!
I have been dreading this day for a while now. I think when you reach 30 there should be a law that you no longer celebrate birthday's. They regulate everything else why not something that would make me happy and not aggravated.

I can remember as a child I would think Yahoo tomorrow is my birthday no one can forget that, It is the day after Valentines day so there is no excuse.
Now it is a curse!!

When you ask someone to remind you of something they always forget, Hope they will forget something, be sure they will remember!!

Birthdays are like that, everyone has to tell you that it is your birthday.
Like your body did not tell you that this morning when you went to get into the shower.
Walk in take off the clothes, tell yourself not to look....what do you do you look!
"Oh my god, why didn't someone tell me I had a black hair a foot long growing there" The eye's have gone to bifocals, so you can't see anything unless it is in a light bright enough to melt plastic.
Yes the hair is grey, all your body parts forgot that they are not running a race to see who can get to the floor first!
Then when you finally find something that will fit over the body that has went south,
The Phone rings with a voice telling you
"ha ha you are older than me, you are older than dirt"
"Hope you have a Happy Birthday" got to go.
Sit down at the table, You are glistening again, no you have not just run a marathon
you just are sweating like you have. Take off a piece of clothes. Try not to think about it but....there will be someone who want to remind you that you have one foot in the grave and you are hanging on by your nails. :)

CQ block #1 Done

I have finally finished my first CQ block, I can see where I have done a few things wrong. I almost did not leave myself room to sew it to the quilt top for the Three Sisters Legacy quilt. I will put a border on it when I get the quilt top for the next round. Now to start the next block, maybe I wont get so carried away with the embellishment.

I have just found out the next stitch for the TAST is the feather, I love the feather stitch. Can't wait to get started on the next block.

VELVET AND RIBBON PIN

Here is the pin I finished the other day, I had almost forgot to post the picture.
It is OK, I am sure the next one I do I would be able to do better.

TAST

Here is the full block with the silk ribbon and photo that I added. This is really the first time I have ever tried to do silk ribbon in anything....I think it looks great if I do say so myself. (kinda got carried away, maybe?)

TAST-ALGERIAN EYE

Here is my Algerian eye, I still think it looks more like a circle than an eye. I don't care for it too much, but it will be OK after I get more stuff on the block

TAST

I did the Algerian eye stitch today for the TAST. I think mine looks more like a wheel than an eye. Did some ribbon embroidery also. I love the way it looks, think I got a little crazy with it. But I still like it anyway. Guess that is the way it is suppose to be a little crazy :0
Will try to get some pictures up tomorrow. It is getting late and time for me to try to get a little sleep.
