Stitching & Color Challenge

When we (bloggers) show pictures of our work, no one knows the agony that went into the work. This is my progress on the Butterfly Fob. The agony that went into it..... I discovered that the butterflies are done with the wrong color of floss and the beige backstitch border was almost done when I discovered two huge knots on the backside. I re-did the backstitching to eliminate the knots, but I'm not going to re-do the butterflies. They took too much precise counting to get them positioned just right. I don't need to go through that again. Since it is a fob, there is still another side to do and I will do the butterflies on that side with the correct floss. Today's color challenge is BLUE. Here is a BLUE cat in a quilt my friend made for me.
A quilty BLUE lampshade in my Quilt Studio.
A BLUE magnet to pick up those fallen pins.
A BLUE quilt carrier bag.
A turquoise BLUE woolie. And to go along with it all, I was feeling kind of BLUE today. A good night's sleep should help to change that color.

Color Challenge

Today's color challenge is GREEN. (See yesterday's post for color challenge explanation.) I did not sew today and never even entered my quilt studio, so my GREEN pictures are from my office.
A GREEN stapler. A GREEN calendar.
A GREEN lampshade.
GREEN walls.
And a very dusty GREEN plant on the top of the bookshelves.
First thing on my To Do list for tomorrow is to dust that plant!

Challenge

There is a clever challenge at Cinderberry Stitches. Every day for five days post 5 pictures from your quilt studio of things with the chosen color. Today's color is pink. Here are my five pictures:
A pink rotary cutter.

A pink (and purple) seam ripper.
Pink fabric in the quilt I'm currently working on.
Pink thread and a pink handled scissors.
Pink fabric. (Hmmm - pretty)And a pink button box. I know, it doesn't look very pink in this picture, but it is kinda pink and is in the shape of a heart.
I wonder what the color will be for tomorrow.
