Just getting green....

....and just getting started ...... I ran a 10 step color variegation after experimenting last week making a variety of greens. I was hoping that my not-so-exact measuring technique wouldn't ruin my run but I'm happy with my greens.
This week my Asiatic Lily bloomed! It has inspired the perfect 'green' orange that I may be able to work into this quilt.
Have fun everyone in our count-down days!

Coming Along

My contribution for the challenge is coming along, finally. Here is something to whet your appetite.

With only a small amount of time left before reveal day, I thought now would be a good time to give you a small amount of peeking at what I'm getting ready to reveal.  So here ya go!

That's enough for now.

Cooking up some...

hand quilting

I thought I would share something green with you.
Here is my first piece of hand quilting,
My stitches are very big, but I think it's OK for my first go.  I used some perle cotton which I had hand-dyed green and the piece is actually medium dark green, although it looks blue here.
Now what has this got to do with the challenge?
Well, it;s green.  But really, this will be the back of my piece, although none of this will be visible from the front at all.
Oh, and yes, it is a bit wrinkly.  I had just handwashed it to remove my guidelines when I took the picture.

I think I need to add some more.  Have you gotten started yet?

Did someone say green?

Look what I came across while travelling to Asilomar for the Empty Spools seminars.
Yup I'd say that's pretty green.  And so are these....
They were selling them at

Author Unknown said it best...

Only Robinson Crusoe had everything done by Friday. ~Author Unknown 

How true!

 Yes......it has taken me a while to get mosaics for the last two challenges created and posted.
My apologies!

Author Unknown was also known to say, 
I do my work at the same time each day - the last minute. 

 So, here is challenge #4....


Tangled Textiles, challenge #4: Looking Up
 (lots of blue in this one, isn't there?)

 and once again, some further words of wisdom...

 If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done.  ~Author Unknown

and here is challenge #5....

Tangled Textiles mosaic for challenge #5, Balance

No more procrastinating for me!!!!
 

Someday is not a day of the week. ~Author Unknown 

Well said!

I'm seeing green

on the trees' new buds, on new blades of grass, and........in my bead box.


Sorry about the poor picture quality, but couldn't resist showing you all my green.
