Piggy progress and a bit of interlacing

So, I played with some interlacing:

It isn’t quite like the stitch I was trying to replicate, but I found that was a bit chunky for this delicate stitch (you can click on the picture and zoom in if you’re curious). I like it – and my daugher is proud that she picked the colors (she said the giraffe needed green around the edge).
Then! Progress on my crazy quilt pig – which is my “big” project for the Rocky Mountain Crazy Quilters this year. the colors didn’t turn out in the picture at all – it’s a lime green with yellow and some other pinks and blues. It’s not exactly what I wanted originally (I was doing ALL green) but I like the inserted embroidery animals. So, we’ll see.

Eventually it will be a stuffed piggy – should be cute!

Other than that, we had a busy weekend, birthday parties, Street fairs and a lot of computer games. Fun! However, it’s almost relaxing to get back to work. Happy Monday!
