Oatmeal Bread (King Arthur)

Going to a potluck today and this will be my contribution. Recipe from bag of King Arthur Bread Flour.

Long Term Project

I can see this project cutting in on my UFO finishing project. I bought the yarn and pattern at Mother of Purl in Freeport. (My first visit there - a really nice yarn shop and the people are very nice.) The pattern is Foothill Road Aran. It isn't often that I get a real broad hint for a gift. This won't be for the birthday in May but hopefully for Christmas 2013.

Bento Box

This is a smallish quilt - Bento Box I think it was called. This is my second finish for this week. Yes!!

Charity Quilting

I will be participating this spring in this project. I'll be making at least one quilt each for Happy Chemo (this has hit pretty close to home is recent weeks) and Quilts Beyond Borders.

This Week's Finish

I'm still on schedule!!
This was a kit someone gave me. I know some of the squares had polyester in them, but that's ok.
I'm not used to making 2 or 3 color quilts and it looked rather bland to me. I quilted it with a red, white and blue variegated thread and it perked it up some.
This morning I prepared 3 backs for the next 3 quilts which will take me well into April.

Baby Sweater

This kind of speaks for itself. I had 3 buttons in my possession that matched exactly. And how often does that happen?

And One More

Another lingerer. 2 or 3 years, I'd guess.

This Week's Finishes

The purple HeartStrings is only a top - going to Yarmouth in April. I made all the blocks and sewed them together this week.
The bricks and black top has been aging for a good long time. Now it's done!
I should make a count of the tops that are left - well, maybe not. It'd probably scare me.
I cut a  shoebox almost full of small tumblers with my GO cutter. Made a small dent in my small scraps. You know I want to start sewing them together but I'm going to try to hold out for a while.

One More Quilt Top Bites the Dust

I am doing well, getting a quilt finished each week. I still have a way to go - maybe 8 or 10 more. I'm not going to get in this position again (I hope). I'll be taking this one with me to the April sew-in in Yarmouth along with 3 other completed quilts and 2 tops for Mary to tie while she is there.

Art Quilts x3

Backgrounds were done on the Gelli Plate onto deli paper. I glued the paper to cardstock, added some elements, then transferred the whole collage to fabric.

This Week's Quilt Finish

The pattern is Picket Fence from an old Quiltmaker. The lights show up better here than in real life.I cut the pieces for this with the chisel die on my GO cutter.

Baby Sweater - hand knit

I've added this to the baby collection box. The pattern is Little Lamb.

Gelli Plate Playing

This is so much fun. There were 3 more but I turned them into collages which I then printed on fabric. I'll be putting them on when they are finished little wall hangings sometime this week
