News this week is that I now have a Work in Progress Wednesdays FAQ in the top tabs. This page not only explains how it will work, it holds the FAQ and most importantly each week will have a links to the latest post.
This year I am participating in the Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2012 but fell behind. I shared this block last week as it was half stitched. This is my block for April with it’s summer past and Autumnal mood that to me is April in Australia. I added a charm of 2 musical instruments a mandolin and violin as Jerry (my husband) plays violin and Eve (my daughter) plays mandolin and in April we had the National Folk Festival. Since both are performers the charm was appropriate.

I have done my block for May. Now to start on June!

Hi Sharon
i just loved the idea of WIP wednesday . this is very encouraging and i think what you offer here , in TAST,your sites and the worksheets tells how much you are aware of all the obstacles that face all embroiderers of all stages .
you are keen to HELP , PUSH and ENCOURAGE anyone interested in a very friendly manner which shows how you are deeply aware of the human psychology and THAT you have high EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.
another bonus here is that you know your work very well and anything coming from you is very valuable . one cannot easily find such accurate information coming from highly professional people who are willing to help .
thank you for sharing and encouraging all the embroidery lovers .
take care.
Thanks Rudaina I am pleased you find my sites useful. It is nice to receive such a nice comment
Sharon what is that stitch in the top left hand corner that looks like triangles?
Hi Karrin it is a stitch called Chained Cretan traingle. It is an obscurity I discovered and it is in my next worksheets. Module 7 will be out int he next week – 10 days. It is a really interesting variation.
I managed to add one thing to my crazy quilt block. You can see it here

This work in progress really helps to keep my project in my head. Life gets so busy that I forget about it sometimes.

I have something very slow to show – slow, because my DH and me just bought a house to renovate. But there MUST always stay some time for my work.
Sorry that is the incorrect address

I’ve been working on my champagne blocks, a seam here and there, but now have a goal to finish a block each week. The working title of the quilt is “champagne on a beer budget”, ‘champagne’ for short. Here is a link to block 5

I am hoping the Work in Progress Wednesday will keep me moving on this project.
