The Beading For A Cure gallery for 2011 is available for viewing now. There are so many wonderful beaded items, it's always interesting to see what every one has done with the same kit. The bead kits for the 2012 BFAC will go on sale April 8th. There is a limited number of kits, so if you are interested in joining in this year make sure you mark that date!!
Start checking for the auctions on March 21st to bid on your favorite items.
I did manage to get some stitching done on Joyce's Delightful Diversions block in our CQ round robin. I ended up picking a lot of stitches out on this as I just wasn't happy with how they were going. Sigh. It wasn't too frustrating as long as I didn't try to make the stitches too tiny and stuck with the ones I have done for years so the hand memory is already there. Lots of fern stitch and french knots.
Here's the whole block
Detail of the work I added
The Silk Ribbon Embroidery roses and the spider/spider web are both firsts for me.
I thought the web would be harder to get the hang of than it was, very much a relief to discover it was easier than I thought.
