Here are the re-done versions of 2 of the bowls. I think they're better than they were. At any rate, I've packed away my beads, hung up the bowls and am getting ready to jump back into finishing my quilt projects. I have 2 that are half-quilted! One is for my niece's coming baby girl--whenever the government of S. Korea gets around to releasing her for adoption! The other is for ME.
