I was so happy to receive Stephanie's book Uncommonly Corduroy. Right away I found some projects that I knew I would make.
I look forward to making a more traditional bag for the fall. I promise to use corduroy because that was the original intent of the pattern and also because I think it would be so COOL.
One thing I forgot to share with you is my FINISHED Granny Stripe Afghan…again, inspired by Stephanie. Do you see a pattern here?
I added a reverse single crochet border and called it DONE! It turned out just a bit larger than a lap size.
I'm so happy that I changed the yarn.
It looks nice on DH's bedroom reading chair.
My STAYcation is going well. DD's room makeover should start soon...wish me luck!
I completed row 3 for Terry’s Goodnight Irene Sew-Along.
Good thing we aren’t sewing the blocks into rows yet because I keep moving them around.
My daughter’s quilt is STILL at the long armer’s waiting (since the beginning of October) for the magic. I expected to have it back either January or February but, as it goes when you use someone who is great at their craft, it is still waiting its turn. In addition to the quilt, she also has three 18” pillow shams.
This weekend I decided to make her throw pillows that will sit in front of each sham. The weather was gorgeous yesterday so I took the pillows to our local botanical garden to be photographed.
While we were there, we walked through The Orchid Room which is proof that orchids grow like weeds in south Florida.
What's a pond without ducks? My DH thinks these are two female Mallards.
Then of course, the resident dragon!
I still have a lot of projects on my list to complete but I am slowly chipping away at it.
I know I promised pics from the recent quilt show but after going through them, I've determined they really aren't blog worthy. Part of the problem was the cramped quarters. I couldn't get enough distance between me and most of the quilts to fully capture their beauty. Another part of it is that my camera battery is dying and the biggest part...well, let's be honest, I'm not a photographer.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful week!
