One Down, Four to Go

I finished and framed the first portrait. It's nice to have one completely done, but at the same time, there is still a lot of work to be done.

There is one to quilt-

There is one to knit-

There is one to quill-

and one to press-


Hopefully everyone elses' work is progressing along too. Now my only issue is that it's February, the 3rd day of it. Phil has seen his shadow, there will be 6 more weeks of winter, but I only have 23 days to finish the remaining portraits!

A Quilter's Thumb: Making this Possible

So I've been spending my time embroidering the WWI portrait. Thanks to my Quilter's Thumb, I've been able to work on it day after day. I think that little piece of leather with a small round metal bit in the tip is the best invention in the world! I actually started writing an ode to it the other nite when I couldn't sleep, but sadly I forgot all those wonderful words when I woke.
But here are some not so fabulous webcam pictures of the work in progress. I know the quality isn't great, but it's a webcam, and it was accessible. Got a lot to do, so back to the grind.
