Socks, Facecloths AND REDWORK WHOO HOOO
Posted By drsao on March 10, 2011
Now that I am able to stay awake more than a few hours a day my idle hands have been having fun……..JUST LOOK. I am posting on my laptop and am not able to distribute my pictures to go with my descriptions – but maybe you can figure it all out. 🙂
ONE OF MY KNITTED SOCKS IS NOW COMPLETED………..I am delirious with happiness. The interesting thing is that I am struggling with the second one. It appears that I was “MORE RELAXED” when I was taking pain pills and now that I am “NORMAL” I can’t remember how I did it! BUT, I am making progress, it is just more of a struggle the second time around……:)
I knitted two facecloths. One has a chevron pattern (I got the pattern online) and the other one I made up. I imagine that there is a pattern out there somewhere but this one came out of my head!
Catherine took my SUMMER JEWELS quilt to A Needle Runs Through It (long arm quilter) to be quilted…..the backing fabric is kind of cute. Catherine and I searched and searched and SEARCHED for the right fabric with just the perfect colors…….
My Colonial Piecemaker’s Baskets Block of the Month for March is pictured as well.
Here are some of my Roll Roll Cotton Boll Jr. blocks….I finished all 30 and today I will start assembling the top of the quilt. I am plugging along, slowly but surely!!!
I am so excited……my FIRST REDWORK BLOCK IS COMPLETED. Thank you so much, Judy of NC, for this wonderful gift. I have wanted to do Redwork for ages and this was really so much fun. When I go to Lancaster next week I am going to look for a lightbox so I can do more!
ANYONE ELSE GOING TO BE AT THE AQS Quilt Show in Lancaster next week? I just love PA. I won’t be taking classes so there will be time to LOOK AT EVERYTHING. I am counting the days – and with Catherine, Margaret and Ellen, how could it be anything but fun!?
Hey Stasta
