I've been making good progress on Frederick. Thanks for all the comments regarding putting both pieces on the same linen. I wasn't sure it was a right way to go but I'm happy with it. I didn't even notice that both birds are facing the same way. I'll have to put something nice next to them for them to look at. :-)
Last weekend I started all sorts of little projects. Here is my first penny ever! I'm making a small penny rug for my table. It's going to be fun and quick. I want to make one for Easter also so this dark colored one might take a back seat if I manage to get some pastel colored wool in the next couple of weeks. I also started a quilt top and it's almost finished. But I'll post the finis rather than an in progress shot. Just a couple of hours to go on it before it's complete. It will be one of the first that I put on my sister's long arm.
Finally a shoot of my amaryllis! I put this baby into water in November and it's finally blooming! I had no idea they took so long.Until next time!

Your penny looks great. That's on my list to learn (or burn depending on outcome) and it looks like a fun stitch.
Ooo, Freddie looks incredible! I love the colors in your penny!
The flower looks awesome. November? I'm afraid I would have given up and trashed him...oh no!
Your Penny looks great and so does Frederick. And my interest is piqued by talk of a quilt! I can't wait to see it!
Frederick is looking great and I really like the penny rug. The colors are perfect! One of the guys in the office has an amaryllis and his is getting ready to bloom, I hope it's as beautiful as yours.

Lots of fun stuff you are working on! Amaryllis are one of my favorites in the winter.

I love Frederick! learning to make penny rugs is on my list. Look forward to seeing yours.
Penny for your thoughts. Nice start. What a happy flower.
Nice going on Frederick! And the amaryllis is spectacular.
Love your penny! I want to learn how to make these too. And Fred is looking fantastic. Can't wait to see the quilt - you've been busy!
