Ascension Day Reflection: Living Faithfully in the In-Between from Quilt in Piece

Today the Church pauses to celebrate the Ascension of our Lord, forty days after Easter. It is a feast that can sometimes feel difficult to grasp. We may wonder why the disciples would celebrate what appears to be another goodbye. After the pain of Good Friday and the uncertainty that followed Easter morning, surely watching Jesus ascend into heaven must have felt like another loss. And yet scripture tells us something remarkable. The disciples did not leave this moment in despair. They returned to Jerusalem with great joy (Luke 24:52). Why joy? Because the Ascension was never about Jesus ...

Machine Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

I decided to try doing stranded work on the LK150. I had somewhat mixed results. The first swatch showed me I'm still learning the technique. The tricky bit of trial and error is the keeping the trial going with all of the errors.

I was pretty sure the tension was too tight so I changed that to prevent the dropped stitches. It got better but it still dropped some stitches. This try was much better. I'll have to keep working at it but I think this might not be the best yarn for this project. It is still ...

Machine Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

I picked up some of this cute yarn at the local big box store to knit a few hats. First, I knit a swatch at what I figured were the right settings on the LK150. I like the resulting fabric so I did some stich counting, measurements, math, and cast on.

I used instructions I'd seen on the Machine Knitting Beginners and Returners Circle to make the crown of the hat in four sections.. I only dropped a single section when working. I had failed to load the yarn in the carriage.

I sewed it up and it came ...

Quilts for Kids: April from Becca's Crazy Projects

On Saturday I dropped off 19 quilts and 12 pieced tops with Annapolis Quilts for Kids. (I didn't get a photo of that bag of quilts but if you've been here a few times you likely have a good idea.)

I filled up my big, rainbow bag with tops and backings from the other quilters. I also grabbed some backings for some of the quilts I pieced. I also grabbed a couple pieced of fabric for piecing more tops and a fresh roll of batting.

That worked out to 19 more quilts to quilt over the next month ...
