Down in the Garden. Block 4

It was an amazing January weekend here in Missouri. Sunny and almost 70. We spent some time outside.

Rocket even was able to take a swim.

















And then I was able to do some sewing. I finished block 4 of Down in the Garden by Leanne Beasley. This is such a lovely quilt and sew fun to do. It is very labor intensive and takes lots of hours but will be an heirloom. At least I hope so.

First quilt

It was a really cold January weekend. But mellisa came to visit and we finished her first quilt. She bought Minnie fabric for her first sewing. Brave girl. She used a lot of pins and sewed it up perfectly. Then she made a couple burp rags to go with this gift.

I was working on block 7 of "At Home in the Garden". I am totally enjoying this quilt.


Today I have off for MLK Day, I'm felting some wool and hoping to work on the s'mores quilt a bit

At home in the garden

This is a pic of table rock dam. We just had record flooding and all the gates were open releasing a record amount of water per second.


This is block 6 of at home in the garden. I am really liking how this is coming along.

Garden blocks

A finish. Really fun candle mat. It's by buttermilk basin. I almost didn't put on the beads. So glad I did. The little bit of sparkle sets it off


This is block 5 of at home in the garden. I love working with the wool.


I also am on block 5 of Down in the Garden. I enjoy the stitching on this one while watching football


I also spent a little time on this Jo Morton quit. S.mores

Hat from sheared bliss yarn

Just finished this hat. Bought the yarn at a store called the wild yarn in denver. It was a local artists yarn and a pleasure to work with.


This is me and my son Chris. It was a snowy day in Denver

Baby hat

This was my first attempt at a baby hat. I used knitcol yarn. I was so pleased with the way it turned out. My great-nephew Ollie was the recipient. He loves it also. Know I am going to have to tackle mittens.
