Friday Finish - Needlepoint and Kimono Zipper Pouch

I stitched this needlepoint piece two years ago as part of my one thread a week challenge. This week I paired it with fabric from a kimono sleeve to make a zipper pouch.

Front, back, and inside. The inside is the same as the back. I stitched it all by hand to keep the zipper and seams even.

Honryuji Temple

This temple has a website here. It is a large interesting site.

Tiny Christmas stitching

Bristol Bag Etui progress

Buddhist Temple

 I don’t know the name of this one, but it turned out to be quite nice.

Monday Morning Star Count

I made some of my loose hexagons into flowers for a future project.

I continued with hand quilting year five. I’m about half-way with quilting around the hexagon weeks. The ones on the right with pins are not yet quilted around.

Rice Planting and Fudoson Shine

Sometimes the walk to get to the destination is just as interesting as the destination. 

I didn’t touch the fence to see if it was turned on.

I was especially interested in seeing the rice being planted.

Fudoson Shrine 

This little shrine, built into the side of the hill, would seem totally neglected, if it weren’t for the bright purple cloth.
