The one on the right isn’t actually finished in the photo, but it is now. These were the first projects I started when we got to Kyiv, so they were both pieced and quilted completely by hand. It’s not as impressive as it sounds - they’re only 19 inches square! In other quilting news, I’m still making steady progress on my butterfly quilt - I’ve got all 56 squares put together, now I just need to embroider all 112 antennae.

The messenger bag is awesome, and the sock monkey is great. Wish I could sew half that well! (as I look at crosstich I haven't picked up in months..). You could sell bags like that and make a mint! Gene and I took a mini sock monkey to Spain with us last year and put him in the pictures. Maybe I'll finally get those on the travellog if I get a little time... Wow.
