I have started a new rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. The full stop quilt that Angela is doing. It looks modern to me, and, I felt that I didn't have a background fabric with enough yardage that I wanted. I bought the polka dot for that. I bought 5 yards of it to make sure I would have enough. The red Christmas fabric came home in the bag with it.

Fabric Used this week: 7 yards - pink flannel baby quilt
Fabric Used year to Date: 22 yards
The after Christmas sales are irresistable for someone who doesn't get out much. The top 2 pieces are flannel with cute gnomes on them. I am dipping my toes into the gnome craze.

I miss watching my fabric totals for the year and working on a hand stitching project. I have decided to start that post again in 2021.
I found some great before Christmas sales at Joann fabrics. I liked this Christmas fat quarter bundle and matching jelly rolls at 60% off sale price. I have a plan for an improv Christmas tree quilt. We will see if I remember it long enough to actually start it, before the fabric is absorbed into the stash.

These are made with Sheep's Pride and felt up nicely, even if they do need a couple trips through the wash cycle to get down to a slipper size. I'm going to make some using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes next. I ... read more
One trip thought the wash in a zippered bag and the test square is perfect but the slippers need another trip through the wash. Felting is ... read more
I haven't been to rug hooking in a while. The pandemic, my hubby's retirement, and feeling behind has left me wanting to stay home. I had already decided, that, I didn't want to cart my big project (snowmen) out of the house any more. I picked a smaller, easier to carry project to take with me, when I go. I took a class last year for this project. And, I would like to see it move along..... I need to go to rug hooking. And today is the day.

Both Teri and I (Kara) have been working on all things stocking lately. Our Cardinals Christmas Stocking was released earlier in the week, and now we would like to introduce our Floral Christmas Stocking!
This flannel and wool stocking is simple in its color scheme but is full of little details that give it a unique charm. All the simple embroidery is done with Weeks DyeWorks crewel wool, giving the stocking a lot of texture.
