Christmas 2014

I didn't get much quilting done, but I did finish 5 Infiniti cowls. Most were a chunky yarn. But the dark purple was a finer tarn. It ended up being my favorite as it has a great drape to it.





Bill was taking over Pam's.


- Now it's back to quilting. Ready to finish a Benjamin Biggs blocks.

A total finish

It's a cold weekend. This quilt has been quilted since June. So I finally sat still and put on the binding. It's a snowy Sunday. So I actually finished while watching football. Now back to Benjamin Biggs

Baby quilt complete

It started out as chevrons but I cut the other half the wrong angle. So now there will be two quilts. But I'm very happy how it turned out. And I love the fish fabric

This is my 3rd drop stitch cowl. It's a pattern by spidewomanknits. It's easy and turns out great!

It's on to the quilting. I'm really happy with the completed top. It's 120 8 inch blocks. Now back to applique.

Benjamin Biggs block one complete

This is the first block completed in the quilt. I hand appliqued using the back basting method. It worked really nice on the large piece.

Start of the Benjamin Biggs quilt

Today I officially started work on the Benjamin Biggs quilt. I'm also giving back basting it's first try. I liked the ease of getting ready and the basting onto the background feels stable. Not sure if the points and curves are as good as using the freezer paper method. But it is good to try new things. My two good friends are a,so working on same quilt. It's a block of month from sentimental stitches and dear jane

An obsession or diversion?

I usually work on projects really slow. But I made the brown infinity scarf and I got hooked. So I went shopping in my yarn stash and made two more cowls. It's a drop stitch pattern and the first time knitting in a circle. I casted on much tighter than off, but I'm still learning and it looks nice on.





This wool one is my favorite.


- Again Gracie is helping me. I'm itching to go buy more yarn. But I also need to get back to my first love of quilting.
