I haven’t knitted anything in ages. But I have a trip and need a project.
I have some lovely yarn yet. Though I did downsize a bit and sent a bunch to my niece. She is a very talented knitter.
What a mess!
I want to try to make baby socks for some expectant mommas I know.
Wish me luck! Have a great day!
I’ve been in the mood to make a mini. So I’ve been looking around for something to start. This has been on my bulletin board for ages.
I found these leftover four patches I could use. The prints are all feed sack prints.
Okay, definitely not a mini, but I’d love to finish this soon. It’s kind of overwhelming though.
I need to go back to my Pinterest boards, I think. Or maybe I just need to clean my sewing room…..or finish some UFOs…..
Pinterest it is.
Ha! Have a great day!
These squares are leftover from this quilt.
I cut the triangles thinking I’d use them like this.
Or this.
I think I’ll need to spend a lot of time sorting before I decide for sure.
Have a great day!
This is my sweet grand dog, Charlie. I quite adore him!
Ever feel this way? I have quite a lot lately!
I just finished this puzzle. Loved it!
I don’t remember if I shared this one. Mister bought it for me on our trip. So pretty!
Have a great day!
It’s done and I love it! I don’t know why it took me so long to get going on this.
Red is my favorite color and it works so well with black and white.
I love the texture on back.
It finished at 72 by 80 inches. It was too big to get a photo of the entire thing on my back wall.
Have a great day!
My little quilt is done and washed.
The after washing crinkle sure hides a lot of imperfections!
I love working with vintage fabrics. This backing has been in my stash so long, it might be bordering on vintage!
Ugh, those feather tips are bad.
But let’s focus on these fun fabrics instead.
It definitely has a lot of texture.
It is far from perfect, but I like it.
Have a great day!
This little quilt jumped the queue! I thought I’d show how I mark for quilting feather borders. I’m very much out of practice.
First I mark the corners and center lines of the borders.
These are not quilting lines, but reference lines to mark the spines. Then I use my spine ruler (IDK what the official name is) to draw in the spines.
I use the same ruler when I actually quilt the spines.
After spines are quilted, I free hand the feathers. Don’t look too closely! I am REALLY out of practice.
But at least it is finally getting done. Have a great day!
I made these blocks when we were in Michigan, back in June.
I had enough fabric with me for sashing, but not borders.
When I got back to AZ, I couldn’t find the border fabric. I knew I had it. I looked for it for weeks. I finally found it.
Now I need to figure out how to quilt it.
Hmmmmm…..
Have a great day!
I’m moving right along!
I used these design boards for the quilting.
I even have the binding ready to go.
I’ll be glad to have this one done. Have a great day!
I’m still plugging away at this! I was up to 25 nine inch blocks when I snapped this photo.
Now I’m up to 32 and my box is filling up!
My bin of cut squares hasn’t gone down much. Funny how that happens!
Have a great day!
