Oh dear, I suppose I'd better 'fess up.
I have not finished my CQJP August block.
It has not even had anything added to it from last weekends reveal.
Also, I have not done this weeks TAST sheaf stitch.
But............. in my defence............ I have completed this...............
..A Rock Pool in a Fish Bowl..
This is my entry in the Franklin Arts Festival 2012
in the Textile Art Category
The Rock Pool Colony consists of heavily encrusted embroidery, hyperbolic crochet, and plenty of bead-work, on a very textured surface.
The actual stitched work is almost 12 inches across. The fish bowl is 17 inches wide.
It took over 270 hours to complete.
There are loads more photos of it on my blog Free Form Stitching
That's it from me this week. Hope to catch up with August block and TAST this coming week.
Happy Stitching

Holy Moley, Batman! I'll have to bop over to your blog and see more!
You have done an amazing job, this is a lovely textured piece of work. Yes it's a shame your CQ lost out, but heck this is just as good, well done.
