And many thanks to Wendy for inviting us again, I look forward to joining everyone on the 3rd Friday for our get together.
I was a bit lax I am afraid on the photograph front. My first task was to alter a skirt - not exciting and certainly not worth a pic!
Next up however I started quilting a cot quilt. The top is one that I made back in the mists of time and has been sitting around waiting for attention. I got it layered up last year and thought I would make a start on the quilting while I had the machine out. I have done about half which took me an hour so I know that next time I get the machine out I need to set aside and hour to finish it off. Sadly it got packed away along with the machine before I realised that I ought to have taken a photo!
In the evening I worked first on my stitch journal. Here is an up to date picture. At the moment I am working on blanket stitch variations.
Then a little bit of knitting on my lace socks.
In other news, the crochet blanket is finished. Pleased with how this turned out and hope it will give someone a nice warm hug next winter.
We have had some cold weather over the last week or so with -7 a couple of nights this week. Mild today and more rain on the way!
I will leave you with a few of my favourite frosty pics.
I love the ripple afghan! Your embroidery is looking so interesting, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThe frost pictures are really interesting. It's like the plants are all warm and fuzzy, even though I know they are cold.
ReplyDeleteYou were very busy. I love the rich colours in your crochet rug.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, your frosty photos are beautiful, Lin! Love the colours in your crochet blanket. Those rows of woolly ripples sing!
