Latest Quilt Top

I was trying to make a dent in the number of 2" squares that I have - this quilt top is the result. The pattern was inspired by a scrap quilt that I saw on Quiltville. The only problem is that the tub the squares are stored in doesn't appear to have less squares than before! I really don't know how I ended up with all these 2" squares but I guess I'm going to have to find another pattern to use up more of them.

Happy Stitching!!

Baby afghan

Here's a pic of the latest baby afghan I've made. The parents already know they are having a boy, so I used blue yarn. The pattern is from The Best of Terry Kimbrough's Baby Afghans, Leisure Arts.

Happy Stitching!!

Rune Sampler update

Here are a couple of photos of my progress on my Rune Sampler.

This is the completed top half before I rolled the fabric to start working on the bottom half.

Here is my progress on the bottom half. I'm really hoping to get this done in time to show in our local fair in August.

Happy Stitching!!

Sewing

How's this for an oxymoron? I love to sew, I love to hand quilt, I hate to hand sew. ;-)

I managed to make myself do some hand sewing yesterday. I have 3 wallhangings that needed hanging sleeves and now they have them!

One is a Santa wallhanging that's been done for over 2 years but w/o the sleeve, I had no way to display it.

Another one already had the sleeve but I'd attached it too far from the top. Now it's nearer the top where it belongs.

The last one was a kit that I had won online. I had started to put it together but it involved curves and it didn't work out too well. I gave the whole thing to my sister in defeat. Last year, guess what I got for my birthday? The completed quilt! As soon as I buy the hardware, this is going to be hanging along the stairway to my sewing room.

Happy Stitching!

I've just finished updating my website to include a Store.

Items currently available are: leaflets (cross stitch, crochet and knitting); books (cross stitch); cross stitch accessories; and thimbles. Soon, I will have a couple of my original patterns available as well.

Happy Stitching!

Progress update

Here is an updated photo of my progress on Rune Sampler. This was taken before I did any stitching last night so I have made even more progress than this photo shows.





Happy Stitching!

Rune Sampler update

Here is my progress on my Rune Sampler as of 7 March 2010. The runes stitch up quickly but the border is so detailed that it takes full concentration. This represents the finish of page 1 of 4.

I have been working on it since, but this is the most recent photo.

Happy Stitching!
