Slow Sunday Stitching @ Kathy's Quilts

It has been a weekend of heavy rain and now clearing skies

 in my corner of the world.

The forecast is for more spring like weather.

We were able to ...

Yesterday it was all about the handwork, no machine (other than the accuquilt that is for cutting).  If I ever won the lottery and had the big dream house I would have bins that could be stacked up and on wheels and have the ability to pull out to look for fabric in.  I guess […]

Well I did get started on a new New York Beauty block but I got caught up with other things and never did finish it.  Here it is with pieces cut ready to use for the foundation. And this is the little bit I got done with Well I peddle with my exercise machine I […]

Here January is about over and I first now picking my green fabric for this first Georgetown block for RSC – I won’t get it done in January but at least it will be cut out to work on when I can.  I started with sitting on the floor going through my green boxes and […]

Yesterday I started to thread baste more hexies for Noriko’s Star– the neutrals of which I probably need about 800 or more – well ok that is probably an exaggeration but a lot are needed.  Anyhow it is a start. I have found that while I peddle with my Cubii machine for exercise I can […]

Hello again, all quiet here at the wooden house. No blowing snow, just dropping temperatures. -22 C on my morning walk and my cheeks felt cold. The warmest clothes, of which there is no shortage here, are being worn inside and out. I love coming in from the cold...it must be one of the best feelings there is. 

Got busy on NYB yesterday and got the right side stitched I unpinned the center from the wall and moved it to the table to see how to make progress on the center – linking to Small Quilts and Doll Quilts — Monday Musings — once the center is stitched it will be joined on […]

Create a handmade Valentine’s Day celebration with a DIY Crochet Rose Heart Wreath. Your gesture of love, as unique as your bond.

The post Rose Heart Wreath Free Crochet Pattern appeared first on The Ruthless Crafter.

 The weather outside is just a little bit frightful...

 Hello again, we are finishing off another busy week. I like to take care of maintenance things- for the car, the house and us, before winter sets in and weather and driving becomes an issue. We both were out of the house every day which seems to make the time fly by extra fast. It always feels good to have checkups behind us.

As a result of all that I didn't get in any daytime stitching, but my nights are still my stitching in front of the tv time.

A few more rows have been crocheted onto my Granny ...

My little unexpected adventure was a trip to the ER Thursday morning which resulted in an over night admission to the hospital cardio floor for observation.  I had a bad drop in blood pressure (it dropped to 73/58) which resulted in me just about passing out on Thursday morning when I got up.  I had […]

I really didn’t think I would work on this much yesterday other than picking out fabric and before you know I was starting.  This one is called “Brolga” The wall- soon I will have trouble getting the whole length in again – the block looks a bit darker on the wall but it is actually […]

I think Saturday afternoon to evening I got caught up on 5 loads of laundry – it wouldn’t have been so much but there were sheets and towels to do as well and one load with bleach! I was busy after the girls left for home!!  The new washing machine came about 15 minutes after […]

For my October OMG I chose to finish a crochet scarf for my sister.

The yarn is Lion Brand Mandala Ombre, color 208AL. The label says no color number, but that number is right under it. The pattern is V Stitch Scarf Pattern, free at Crochet For You. Although the yarn is self-striping, I had to alternate between three cakes to keep the stripes a pleasing size.

Once I had the repeat down, I didn’t need to look at the pattern. It made for a relaxing project at the end of the day.

To see what everyone else ...

Yesterday was another nice day a bit of handwork done, finished an audio book by Karin Slaughter called “The Good Daughter” which was not in either series that she writes but a stand alone that I had never read before.  I guess I had overlooked her stand alone books and just read the two series.  […]

No change in the numbers.

I finished my sister’s scarf, which doesn’t help the fabric numbers but has me working on one less project.

I also reworked the challenge design, keeping the basic idea but changing the format. The background fabric didn’t survive the change. It will find its way into another project.

Fabric In: 29.3 yards

Fabric out: 8.875 yards

Net Fabric In: 20.425 yards

How did you do this week?

No change in the numbers, although I did finish two things.

The first finish was my great nephew’s afghan.

It was crocheted with Lion Brand yarn Mandala Ombre, maybe color 208AL. The label says no color number, but lists that number. I don’t believe there was a pattern for this. I just copied what my sister had done before she passed.

Next I framed Words of Joy Tree with a frame I picked up at Goodwill several years ago. It wasn’t my local store, might have been the one in Columbus. I’m super proud that I ...
