| My embroidery thread stash |
I am participating in "1 Year of Stitches", an embroidery project. Each day I need to do at least one stitch. Here is the progress during this first week:
 |
| Day One |
 |
| Day Two |
 |
| Day Three |
 |
| Day Four |
 |
| Day Five |
 |
| Day Six |
 |
| Day Seven |
I have NO idea where this will go, but I am enjoying the process more
than expected! I have been doing free form so far. This has been a very
fun and freeing project!
I can now show the pillowcase set I made for my panda-loving-daughter, for Christmas:
At last month's guild meeting, I picked up some free blocks. I believe no one wanted them because they were autographed:
I made two complimentary blocks and assembled this top:
 |
| I also put a border around it that matched the fabric I used in my blocks. |
This will make a nice lap quilt. I will probably keep it because I don't
feel right about donating a quilt that has all these names on it. I
will use it though, and somehow I feel attached to it because of the
fellow quilters that made the blocks.
I started a new applique quilt too. It is a pattern called "Whoo Knows" and will be made for my owl loving oldest son.

An online friend of mine, Margi from Michigan, is a knitter. She makes
the most awesome knitted socks. I can't knit worth a darn but I crochet.
I decided to try to make my first pair of crocheted socks:
 |
| Day One |
 |
| Day Two |
It has been challenging but fun. I also found some luscious yarn at a local thrift store. I hope to make more socks with this:
 |
| This is so soft! |
I am off to a great start this year. Lots of projects to work on and new
ones in the planning stages. I hope you are all off to a wonderful new
year of sewing and crafting too!
