I actually got some sewing in. Yayyyyy me! First I finished this baby quilt:
These are hand dyed fabrics. They are actually a bit brighter than this pic shows. I wanted to make an interlocking design and this was the simplest thing I could come up with. It measures about 30″ x 40″. Here is the back:
The back was actually a commercially printed fabric but it sure does a great impression of hand dyed!
I also finished my first pair of toe-up socks:
Okay, these are not so earth shattering. They are basic utilitarian socks. I am happy because I learned to make toe up socks with a no wrap short row heel. They fit and I used every inch of the two skeins I used, which was the reason I wanted to learn this method!
I also worked a bit more on this block that I posted a while back. I decided to make a traditional medallion quilt using the scraps I had cut earlier.
I am not sure about the squares on point for the next round. I may have to rethink that. Otherwise, I like what is sewn thus far.
I will get back to the more “art” quilt style soon. I have some ideas percolating but also a very busy week ahead so we shall see!
Until next time….





Thanks! And thanks for visiting! I agree, that last border is not working, too big I think…..Posting WIPs keeps me going back to them. Accountability I guess!
Nice to see someone else posting works in progress. I think the socks are great – my mom made some for me years back in a similar style and they’re a good design because the heels are neither bulky nor ‘holey.’ I like your colour choice, too.
I also really like what you’ve done with your medallion quilt. I recently posted about a design decision I had to make and was disappointed when no-one gave me a recommendation so in that spirit I think you’re correct in pondering the squares on point for the next round.
Good luck with the next round. Hope you’re able to get in some more sewing time real soon.
