I have 3 quilts on the go as we speak. Actually, I lied. I have 4 quilts on the go if you also include the Farmer's Wife quilt. I am trying to use stash as much as possible in finishing the quilts. I found a lovely 100% cotton sheet with a suitable pattern for the quilt back and a solid for the binding. Husband does not approve but he does not like the colours of this quilt anyway. He only likes the actual quilt pattern but he is not a fan, shall we say, of this fabric line. I reminded him that the quilt is not for him. I do appreciate his feedback! And he does have excellent colour sense!
On the knitting front, Daughter has asked for text messaging mittens. I bought her a pair of home knit ones at a craft fair but she lost one or both of them. I could not find a pattern and my knitting skills are not up to just winging it. Husband ordered the book "Knit Grrl" for me the other day at my request because it has a pattern in it for text messaging mittens. I cannot wait to see how they turn out!!!! So exciting.
So that is my story. Excitement is building at school as Halloween approaches and today is Diwali! Happy Diwali everyone!!!!
oh how I wish I only had four quilts on the go - and that doesn't even include the 21 for the soldiers.........I am sure UFO's breed in the cupboard!
