WIPocalypse 2012 - June 4

I have been plugging away at "Ornaments ala Round" eve since the last WIPocalypse... and here is where it stands today --- one more color (in the evergreen boughs), and it will be time to start the metallic stitching!


Also in progress is the June Color Palette/Crazy Quilt Journal/Bead Journal Project challenges. Here is my floss toss:



 and a close-up of the basic block as it will look when trimmed to size:


The color palette is based on a photo of a Stargazer Lily, as seen on Judy Laquidara's Patchwork TImes blog and Vivcki Welsh's Field Trips in Fiber blog. The block grid  block 29 of I dropped the Button Box on Pin Tangle by Sharon B. Again, I was lucky in that three of the colors in this block were used in the previous block so there is some color continuity in these blocks.

Other completions this month have included:

Take a Stitch Tuesday bands for half-chevron stitch, bullion knots, butterfly chain stitch, and knotted Cretan stitch.

the May color palette/crazy quilt journal/bead journal piece

the Mat Mini-Socks and Mittens lesson

the Color Through the Ages "Medieval Book of Hours" twinchie

I'm reading through lesson one in Janet Perry's Stitch Guide online class - this is the canvas  I will be testing out in that class:



 and plugging away at "Kimono - Revisited" (for which I have a new set of 13 sections to work on) - here is where that piece stands at present:

So, some progress on the BAPS and a few small completions. Still backed up in the WIP department, though!
