since the envelope of supplies arrived, I figured it would be good to get going on the project(not to mention that I don't want to be doing this at the last minute when the deadline for submissions is looming!)
here we have the piece all set up -- two pieces of stabilizer with a layer of bamboo batting sandwiched inside (I used some spray adhesive to hold those layers together) -- then the jasper pieces are glued down and it's ready for me to start stitching the bezels around each one -- that will take a while, since there are a couple dozen stones involved
fortunately bezel building is pretty easy, so it shouldn't take too long
my back has recovered enough that I could move tubs of fabric around and pull out the pieces that I need to start on the Hawaii piecemeantime, the big hat and the hat stand on the Hoffman design have been stitched down, so it's moving right along too
and yesterday I cut the strips for the third charity quilt top
yarn projects are doing well too -- almost 45% of the Christmas afghan done, the yolk of the shawl is complete and the hat I started on Saturday for my grandson is half finished too
moving along

Jewelry making is a spectator sport for me, so I really love seeing what you create. (So did quilting turn out to be, though I've at least tried that one.) You do such beautiful work.
