Project strikes again!

We've been having a spot of bother with our Internet connection...grrrrrrrrr..... Here are the other blocks I have been working on for "The Project". The butterfly came out a bit wonky, so I'm going to have a stab at embellishing it to see if that makes it more balanced. If not, I'll just make another. This past weekend I got a new sewing table which hopefully I will have in place soon. We're having lots of company this coming weekend, so I probably won't get to use it until next week. Until then.....

"The Project"

These are squares from a project I'm working on for my friend Linda. Last fall she knit me a gorgeous royal blue cable sweater so I'm making her a "zen" book featuring things we've written to each other about as being things we love or things that are calming. That's something important in both of our lives as we tend to get a bit jeezled from time to time.

To start out with, there's a "zen fish"....



a "zen iris".....



and a pair of "zen coffee mugs"....



I'll have a few more to post in a day or so. I'm eventually going to put all these together into a cloth accordian-fold book so that she may display it on a coffee table just as easily as a wall.
