As you know I've been pretty much focusing on two pretty big WIPs, Enchantment of Winter and The Accolade. I've had the urge for a finish lately since its been quite some time since I've had one. So last night after all my running around and housework was done, I picked up my quilt blocks and finished my 7th one.
Quilt Block #7
I've now got a small start on an 8th quilt block but I've put it aside for now to stitch up this little motif. Christin picked up the JCS ornament preview issue for me and while I was flipping through it I noticed this motif as part of a corner design in the magazine. So I thought why not? Started it last night and finished up the stitching and finishing today. I was surprised that I had the exact matching bead in my stash to edge it with!

Its Saturday, which means its PhotoHunt day, today's theme is "Backwards"
I took this photo last weekend at the Holstein Rodeo, one of the parts of the Rode Show were these trick riders from Florida. Unfortunately I couldn't capture a clear shot... but you get the point. She's riding the horse backwards!

I know what you mean about the urge for a finish. Cute choices. You did some nice stitching to satisfy the craving.
Two great finishes. Love the photohunt shot.
Cool photo, and grats on the finishes. They're both lovely. I like the colors you used for your ornie.
Wonderful finishes. Love the ornie.
I love the photo and your latest finish too. Best wishes and happy stitching.
Greta quilt block and the ornament is lovely
congrats on finishing the quilt block and the beautiful ornament.
Congrats on your finishes! I love the way the ornie turned out with the beaded hanger as well as the the edging :)
I bought the JCS ornament preview the other day too. It never even occurred to me to make that corner motif into an ornament! Great idea and your's turned out beautifully!

Super ornament, sometimes a quick finish is needed.
