New Project


Close up of the corner to show color.
It is Sunday and the weekend is quickly coming to a close.  Ken and I went to a horrible movie on Friday.  Haywire was the name of it.  He picked the movie.  I thought it was a bust.
Close up so you can see the green satin stitch.

5 completed blocks!
Yesterday he went to work and I stayed home to sew!  I finally got the stars and trees quilt top put together.  I am very happy with it.  It was my goal to get that done so I could start the big order.  I am doing the bedding for a young lady turning three.  I am starting with the quilt top first.  Then on to the bed skirt, shams, curtains, and throw pillows.  I had run into a few glitches, but I worked through them and I am okay with the way the squares are turning out.  I have five completed.  I think I need eighteen flowers, but some of them will be half flowers I think.  I am designing this as I go. 

I am also trying my hand at some knitting.  I have finished the knitting part of an infant hat, but I don't have it sewn together yet.  Actually, I am not sure exactly how to go about this part.  I will take it to church and Lisa will help me.  She is the knitting lady to go to for help!
Since I am stuck in the knitting I think I will look for a crochet pattern for an infant hat.  I hope I can find an easy one.

  1. The green is great! And you fixed the see-through problem. That is awesome. And finished another quilt to boot. Sounds like a good weekend!
