Marriage? and Thorny

Photos have been pretty scarce around here lately, so here are a couple shots from recent work.  I finished up quilting, cropping and edging "Marriage?"    Zigzagging the edges made it really ruffled  - not sure what the solution to that is - other than don't zigzag.  I didn't care enough about this piece to spend hours in traditional binding or experimenting.  So I'm calling it done.

I have been working on embellishing "Thorny" for the last several days.  It's a good thing to keep busy with in front of the tv...  I don't have any real plan for it.  I just sat down with some print-outs from Laura W.'s Threaducation Thursday tutorials, a box of beads and threads that I had collected up for this and some other earth-toned pieces, and started sewing stuff on.  I like the extra zip that that the metallic threads add.
