Totals 2013 February

I have had a busy month, trying to move forward on several UFOs and prepare some projects for entry at the fair, FCE and Junior Womens Club upcoming cultural arts programs.

Handwork:

Three years ago I bought this gorgeous teal yarn and found a pattern I liked   ("King Charles Brocade") and began knitting this afghan.  There is a lot of counting of knits and pearls for each row so I could only work on this with full concentration.... that is why it has taken me so long to complete. I am finally finished and it is ready to enter.

I also finished blanket-stitching the fusible wording on my basket sampler wall hanging and it now quilted and ready to hang.






Machine Sewing:

Last fall I began working with my son's group making applique quilt blocks for a banner to hang in the activity room where they meet.  With only two blocks remaining to be complete I began arranging blocks an deciding on a layout.

The inner border is now attached, and I am making progress on the borders for Easy Street.  I've stitched together 2 borders worth of blocks and half done with a 3rd border.  These little 3" finished blocks are so cute and I'm looking forward to a finished flimsy!

Lastly, this month I've finally set these pieced and applique blocks into a wall hanging.  I still have to add the wide muslin border with some more applique and then a final pieced border.  Still a long way to go, but I'm making progress.
