A few more stitches

Well the last couple of weeks we have been battling colds here..... now just a lingering cough, that's driving a little crazy. My elbow is healing nicely. I am still being careful what I do with it
.
I did get a pair of socks finished and started another that is a knit along on Craftsy, with Lucy Neatby. It's a fun pattern that knits up rather nice. I am behind as this month there is a toe up sock with cables. I am looking forward to giving that one a try too.
the sock on the right is the one from Lucy's class
it fits perfect and feels nice and cozy on

I have also been sewing along with the 2016 BOM with Lynette on craftsy.
round 2 on and star blocks for March and May complete
And another sew along just started this weekend. Pat Sloan is hosting  the Splendid sampler, which will have blocks released twice a week. There will be 100 - 6 inch blocks over the year.
February 14th block #1 
Another fun project has been a baby quilt. I did use a fish from a magazine as well as a few cut from fabric, other than that I have designed this one. It has taken longer than I had planned with limited use of my one arm.
just a peak until it is delivered 
I did get a little mail last week.... from the December quilt /pillow challenge. Some lovely lotions to try out. Thank you to Darlene aka SewCalGal for hosting the FMQ Challenge last year.( She has another on the go for this year check it out )

Sew that's what I have been up to the last little while...... what have you been doing?

  1. Udderly Smooth? For when you handquilt? You seem to have lots on the go too! I love your sneakpeek of your design. Neat that you design. I am with you on The Splendid Sampler. I haven't started because I want to see what kind of main fabric I want. Thanks for visiting me ;) https://pegsplace.wordpress.com/

  2. Love the crab. Hopefully, we will get to see the whole quilt. I have not yet mastered knitting socks. The BOMs are all tempting but the second six inch block looks like it has way too many pieces to it.
