TAST, CQJP and WIPs

I found out today that I had been doing the cable chain incorrectly...err, I mean, in an alternate way....heheheh.......but I did some on my June CQJP in several spots. It's fun adding the TAST stitches to my CQ blocks.

french knots on flowers,
entwined by red stem stitch

row of green buttons and one sparkly one

cable chain in red on red

in green on green with a Stef Francis rayon

in green on white, too

all together, my June CQJP looks like this!





I'm pleased with the progress so far, but I think there's a bit more I want to add to this block









My WIPs
My StitchMAP basic CQ course has me adding some beady bling to my first needlebook (it's a gift for a friend)

This one I'll keep for myself

beading on the pin cushion

and Spidey showed up on the thread roll-up!

here's how the thread roll-up looks now, but coming up is a dragonfly.........

In the garden last week, the pale pink peonies were out in full bloom...........until the thunderstorms arrived

This pink one is really pale with just a touch of pink on the outer petals

My pink climbing roses are very pretty

This is the first bloom on my favourite rose bush....and seems to have more pink around the petal edges than it did last year


The weather is fluctuating between hot and humid and cool and wet


at least the gardens like the rain


Hope you're having sunny days




Thanks for visiting.
