 Yesterday was our knit/crochet group at the library and I made great progress on this shawl. I'm almost done with one skein and will use about a third of another. The best thing is that I now have a pattern to make it. I'll eventually post it just so I have it saved somewhere for myself. I'm no pattern writer and it will not be a "real" pattern. There's not a lot left on this and it will probably be done this weekend.  I've made progress on the placemats too. I love how the printed fabric looks as the final border. I've gotten started on quilting the first one and hope to get all 4 quilted and bound this weekend. I can also report that I've already picked out fabrics for the next set but I'll sew up some more little quilt tops before I start the new placemats. Oh yeah, I'll finish these first.  The weather is supposed to be crummy this weekend so I should also have time get Becky's quilt loaded and quilted. If I get all three of these projects done I will consider the weekend a huge success.
But I'm starting off the weekend today with a day trip to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival. Who knows how many projects that will inspire me to start this weekend.

It looks like you have a full weekend planned. I love how the placemats look now. The fabric you printed is perfect. 2/25/2023 08:21:40 am
I wonder how many bloggers you will run into at the quilt festival, I have read of so many saying they are heading that way - or where going to but they got sick and had to cancel plans. Have fun, hope you find at least a couple things at the vendors - I think I am going to the Paducah show this year and hope the vendors will be better than those at the Branson show last year.

You could reference your 'pattern' for the new shawl as a 'recipe' for creating it. It's all in the terminology (haha). Leave a Reply. |
