Pictures for yesterday's blog post, well the back anyway


 Here’s the back. I’ve hung the quilt twice and still don’t have a picture. Well just use our imagination. That won’t be too difficult - if you’ve seen one tumbler quilt you’ve pretty much seen that all.

Waffle Stitch Crochet Sample


 Ooooh, I just love these sunken squares. I wonder if I need to get some yarn for a baby blanket. I’m going to wait awhile and think on it.

Another Large Tumbler Quilt Finished, along with its back

 And I know there are at least 5 more of these on the waiting list. Not to mention the baggie of already cut pieces. When I say I love to cut with my Accuquilt die cutter, I really mean it. The back was simple to do since I have a lot of these strippy strips in my “parts department” box.

Whoops, pictures not available. Will try again tomorrow.

Trying AGAIN to get these quilts finished

 Here we go again. I must stop looking at “shiny things”. This  is one of many large tumbler quilts and its pieced back. I’m not planning on buying any new fabric so I’ll be making a lot of pieced backs.

#2 Finish for Union Fair

 I doubt that Union Fair has a category for ‘rope bowl’. But, just perhaps they have one for ‘Basket, other’. In that case, I’m golden.

#1 Finish for Union Fair

 I think I’ll take some things to Union Fair this year to enter in the exhibition hall. I did it a few years ago and it gives me something to strive for. Their premium book won’t be available until June but I pretty much know what I’m going to enter.

This is a baby blanket (for a really long and skinny baby), it’s crocheted with Simply Soft yarn and the pattern is Train Tracks. I will not use that yarn again - it splits, about every 4 or 5 stitches. And it isn’t much bigger that sport yarn. Each row I only gained a little over a quarter inch. Much too slow for me. 

I may replace this with something better.
