I participated in the Focus on Finishing FAL (finish along) over the weekend by finishing Spring Feaver from CAt's Whiskers into a biscornu. What a fun project! I'll do many more like this. It's so tiny, it fits right into the palm of my hand. I got clever and desided to reverse the other side switching the color sequencing. The below photo is the reverse.
I also found time to quilt for a couple of hours and work on block six of the Village. I'm using 32 count Sand Dune which is the recommended color.
And for my train project this week I started on a Blackbird Designs chart from the booklet, With Needle and Thread called My Quaker House. I had five of the recommended WDWs threads and I subtituted two. I stitching it on 32 count Sandcastle from Silkweaver Fabrics. I really should have taken something from my waiting in the wings list but just didn't feel like it. :-) I spent a couple of hours going through my stash on Sunday and this is what kept jumping into my hands.

They're stitching this piece as a SAL at the minute, so you'll fit right in!
Beautiful biscornu! I love the buttons you used. The Village is coming along wonderfully. Great new start too - I wouldn't have been able to resist it either!
Your biscornu is so cute :-). I love that Quaker house piece, I have it kitted and ready to go.
Your biscornu is very pretty, great finishing work. Your Village piece is coming along very nice. Starting any new projects? It is always fun to start something new. I can tell you are a blackbird's fan.
Great job on your first biscornu! As always, your VOHRH is so inspiring :-)
