Hey Everybody! Look at Me!

I'm such a show off, aren't I? I DO hope you can forgive me! Seriously, though, I know that one of the things we quilters like to see is the work of other quilters--I certainly get motivated by seeing what everyone else is doing, anyway. So yesterday I mentioned I'd get photos of the projects I've been working on, and I did.

First, Joy Luck. This is the newest addition to the Schnibbles family and is the pattern selected for the July Year of Schnibbles quilt. This is also the first project I cut post-splint. Woo-hoo! Now I need to get busy and get it quilted.

Next? Another post-surgery first. Here's a rather embroidery-intensive project I'm working on. For some reason, this doesn't seem to photograph very well, but the lighter, brighter red in the upper right hand section is the part I've completed--the rest remains to be done. (And I'm not sure what it will be when it's done. A pillow, maybe? A wallhanging? It's anybody's guess at this stage!)

I had gone to tea and stitching with Gran at the quilt shop the Friday after surgery and I wanted to do SOMETHING, so I purchased the pre-printed panel and a couple skeins of embroidery floss. I didn't do much that first day, but I've been working on it more the past few days, and it's coming along--slowly.

And last--the latest Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along block--block ten, I think. In keeping with my Halloween theme, I decided to leave the corners off the bottom leg so it would look a little more like a gravestone cross, and I figured it was the perfect headstone for Vlad the Impaler (the "real" Dracula, of course).

What next? Well, I have a little project up my sleeve, and I spent some time today gathering supplies. So besides quilting the Schnibbles, I hope I'll have something else kind of interesting to share before too long--if it works out, anyway! And if it doesn't? Well, I'll probably show you anyway.
