Class Quilt Completed

Last fall, I took a Beginning Quiltmaking class from Laura Nownes at Thimblecreek Quilt Shop. Everyone in the class made the same blocks, and then each person constructed a quilt from their blocks.

The pattern prototype is in the book  Q is for Quilt by Diana McClun and Laura Nownes

Yesterday, I finally finished the binding.

Hurrah! All the quilts in Group 1of my "Quilts To Finish" list have been completed. On to group 2 !!

The Very Bright Quilt, Continued

Lisa continued working on the Very Bright Quilt, originally introduced on this blog on January 7th. Yesterday, we watched it grow again, and <drum roll> here it is!!

We thought it looked like stained glass with the sun shining through it.

Knitted Table Runner

This table runner is knitted with Cascade Ultra Pima cotton - three skeins with 220 yards per skein. The finished dimensions are 38 inches by 10 inches. I increased the center stockinette stitch from 10 stitches in the original pattern to a broader 20 stitches. The lace edge is a simple pattern and is almost mindless knitting. Oddly enough, the pattern is knitted on the wrong side, and then appears, as you see, on the right side of the knitting.

Wanting to see what these look like AFTER felting, but that was part of the gift - the fun of felting herself . . . . they're supposed to fit MY feet -- we'll see . . . .

This project was almost done for 6 whole months -- the two halves were just waiting for a bit of stitching up the sides, but that needed ME to sit down with the teapot . . . . Thank you Julie for the kit and the inspiration!

A finished project -- Noel's birthday apron.
