I have been waiting, not all that patiently, for my hands to get rested. I finally decreed that they were well enough and began to search in earnest for my format for BJP 08-09. I got out my beading stuff and found a block I started in May of last year... it was 2-1/2"x2-1/2" and I really liked what I started there. So I decided that since only about 12 beads had been attached so far, it could easily be my September block and my format for the new BJP. (The beads I had attached were the matte flowers that flow from the lower right to the upper left with a size 11 bead on top of each... I had only put on 6 flowers with the beads on top) I started work again on Friday, then on the ferry going both ways on Saturday when I was on a trip with girlfriends to see the quilt show in La Conner, WA. One of the vendors at the show had beads for sale, and I found some new-to-me leaf beads to immediately add to my block. I will be adding more beads, but probably won't be totally covering this piece with beads.... leaving some of the fabric showing.

It was great fun, wasn't it... riding on the ferry for over an hour each way and beading together!!! I enjoyed that part of our quilt show trip sooooooo much! Your piece is way wonderful... Hugs, Robin A
Krispi - this is very nice. Well done - glad your hands are better. Nothing worse than sore hands and beading.
