| waiting for more quilting... ... and Christmas |
Snowed under ... sew to speak I'm working on a winter themed quilt and I am quilting snowflakes over the large pieced areas of the quilt. Snowflakes are done and now to do the surrounding areas of the quilt. On Monday I did a bit of a tut on how I quilted the snowflakes. It was quite easy and I think I would do it again.
I am also knitting a pair of socks one down and one to go and then there is about 6 more balls of yarn to work up. I just love the feel of home knit socks.
I did complete this little runner for a bride of this summer, I had asked her if she had a color she would like in a runner and she had said "Rider" green our provincial football teams color , sew here it is . I chose to use a Christmas fabric on the back sew that it could be used at different times of the year as well.
I did get a start on some holiday cooking ..... the cabbage rolls are in the freezer next will be the apple strudel.
Well that`s it from me be sure to check out what the others have been up to on THE NEEDLE AND THREAD NETWORK with the link at the top of my side bar.

Love your winter theme quilt! I'm finishing one up too. Snowflakes are one of my favorite motifs!
ReplyDeleteI'm also busy knitting socks. When the cold weather arrives wool socks are the only thing that keep my feet warm.
The snowflake quilting is great!
