WIPW - Finally Some Lemon

This is the Work In Progress Wednesday report for this week.

Finally, some lemon hit the

Mandala!

I decided to make it simple. Beads for the tufts of Pine needles, and Mountmellick Stitch worked in the lemon yellow rayon thread around the 'wings'.

Compare the photos to see the look with and without the yellow. What do you think, is the yellow addition an improvement or not?

Baby Quilt Label

I have now finished the embroidery and added a border. It is not as crooked as it looks. The label will need a good press and then be stitched onto the back of the quilt. Naturally, the basting thread must be pulled out, too!

Hexablooms

Do you recall that the right side required an additional column of blocks to completely cover the glass wall that this tapestry is intended to conceal? 

Well, five out of six blocks are now on.

As for the lower left area of the tapestry, I had 20 blocks assembled last week. Now there are 27. They need to be fixed to the blocks above.

Furthermore, I basted 17 white pieces while sitting in a waiting room.

Despite having a busy week, I have made rather good progress.

I have even started on the Sunday Stitch School's Revision Homework, so with a bit of luck, Sunbonnet Sue will show up on Friday. Or rather, she will go in - if she is unlucky! Now, there's a clue for you!
