Dad’s quilt , wordless Wednesday

 

Spring wreath

 Took a spring wreath that belonged to my late grandma and added some extra foliage to the middle. The first wreath was also constructed by me with some extra input from Grandma. 

Beading collections

Paint by number banners

 These banners were part of the Advent box that I got. They are about four feet long.

They have hangers that uses magnets to hold the canvas between to pieces of wood. That is shown in the second picture. Now to figure out how to store them.

Bulky Yarn Afghan

 I was asked to make a bulky yarn afghan so I did!! I did some research on how to hand crochet and got to it!! 

I ordered 12 balls of yarn but wasn’t sure that was going to be enough. You know I have an issue with making things “big” enough so you won’t be surprised to know I have 4 more balls of yarn sitting in my shopping cart! lol!! Guess I won’t need them! 

All tied up and ready to be delivered!! 

The most challenging part of this was weaving in the ends of the yarn. Chunky yarn doesn’t really weave well!! So I sewed the ends down using the centre of the yarn - there’s a thread or something there that holds the yarn together! I hope it didn’t wreck the yarn.  

Another project done and blogged!! I am in a roll!! 

Happy Sunday all,
