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.

Tumbler Quilt Finish

 This tumbler quilt is set 12x12 using large tumblers cut with the Accuquilt. It measures 54”x73”. And I probably have at least four more tops ready to quilt. Not to mention a lot of precuts. I also have two shoeboxes of small tumblers cut. I like the looks of the small tumbler quilts but they take quite a bit more time to get finished.

And...I signed and dated this one. Just in case I become famous and people decide to collect my quilts.

New Project Bag

After all my notions and doodads kept falling off my chair arm to the floor, I decided to make myself a project bag. I have a real nice pattern for a lot of sizes and it doesn’t take very long to put together. My ‘project’ right now happens to be knit hexies. I’ll add a picture of them. They’re knit using leftover sock yarn. Can you even imagine how long it will take to make a throw? Or even a pillow?
