I bought a bunch of mat board on Ebay and a mat cutter at Michaels. I plan on matting and framing these out, along with the previous bunch. When thats done you will see then again.

WIP
My first attempt at evenweave is a band sampler design by Lesa Steele called Bella:I am not sure at this point if I like working on evenweave instead of Aida. I find it slow going and I feel that my work is sloppy at this point.
Remember those paper pieced stars? Well, here they are made into pillows for my daughter Amala:
