a rose is a rose

the stitching is moving along slowly

but I like the look -- the various shades of red beads really do work to give the pattern some definition

does this look like it could become dragon fly wings?

for the first time yesterday I played with some angelina fibers and created this "sheet" of iridescent stuff that I think will do the job

the plan today is to get the quilt sandwich put together so I can get the dragonfly piece finished

I think I'm ready to start on this project too -- I need to print out the pattern then I can select the fabrics to get started

fun!

need to make a trip to pick up fertilizer for the lawn then to the grocery before I can get back to the studio

time to get moving
