Guadelupe number 3, finished in Texas this weekend. This is the 100th project since September.

This is a milestone day, I have created 100 posts since starting this blog September 7, 2007. This makes it 101 posts. And I forgot to take pictures of a few things. I counted up, and have made and posted 98 pieces. That counts each sheet of ATCs as one item. In fact I have 3 more things to post, and that makes 101 pieces I've made since the first post. At this rate, I'll have at least 200 things made in a year. Up until, I had no idea how many. Included with this post is piece number 99, a felted and stitched art quilt.


The finished flowers, with green grout. It looks like a windy day, doesn't it? This and the fish may get framed in the future.


This is the finished fish. I think a darker grout may have been better, but I like the blue.

These little faces were a lot of fun. I used pieces as I found them as much as I could. They are about 2+1/2" wide, and up to 3 or 4" high.
