Crochet Swear Blanket

 This one is for Chelsea, too! I’ve decided to take progress pictures daily to see how long it takes me to get this done. The goal is to complete it before Christmas and if that doesn’t work, her birthday is in February!!

Week 1

10 rows total. 

I’m not sure if I am going to repeat colours or find new ones. Each row takes 1.5 balls of yarn. I was thinking I would use the remaining yarn to do the border. 

Here are the colours I have so far: 

I’ve always like learning and collecting new skills. This is what I have learned this summer: 

Happy Saturday!

Quilt Cave Summer Addition

There’s something about the quilt cave in the summer!! This summer’s productivity included quilting 2 quilts, some yard work, and a side of crocheting!!

Quilt #1: 2021 Quiet Play Quilt Along

I started this on in 2021. Finished the last blocks last year or maybe the year before. Sewed the top together and left it in NB for a while. It was well traveled before it was actually finished. I am happy with how it turned out. Not all the colour wheels start and end in the same place - the challenge of working from the back when paper-piecing. Some blocks were more challenging than others. 

Quilt #2: A Trip Around the World

I loved this quilt the first time I saw it on Joz Makes Quilts!! It was the colours, the simplicity of the pattern, and the simple hand quilting. Love it all. It took me a while to order the kit from Scribbly Gum Quilt Co. Then it took even longer for it to come from Australia!! 

This is how Joz Makes Quilts finished her quilt: 

I am going to add the stitching to mine but until then, I quilted it by stitching in the ditch.

Crocheting

I am making Chelsea a set of F-U dish clothes. I have a few done but have run out of yarn at the moment.

Fuck

WTF

F-Bomb

FFS

The Finger

I tried this pattern but it is too difficult to see the word. It isn’t as obvious as the others are.

That’s all until the next Quilt Cave visit!!

Happy Saturday!

Beading and a goose

 Hello ladies,

Just sharing a beading pic.

 

Also, sharing Gertrude the porch goose’s quilted fall jacket. It’s reversible with plaid lining in case she feels like being a lumberjack. It also has an inset collar. The seams are all properly finished. Myhomeec teacher would be so proud (and surprised). Images and I aren’t friends right now. It won’t load my bead picture and has three of the same one of Gertie.  Of well, that’s another day problem to fix.  Me , your last post is a still a draft. Did you mean to do that or is Blogger  being  difficult for you as well?

Fall quilt magic

 Grabbed another one of these quilt magic kits to do. This one took the least amount of time out of all the ones I have done.

Pretty good view for some crafting.

Completed the project in 3 hours.

Not sure why the pictures look blurry, when you open them they are fine.

Student work

 I was busy in May and June teaching my student to bead. We started with large pony beads and worked our way down to size 6 beads. The seed beads I normally use are 11. I was pretty impressed with what they were able to accomplish. I nearly went crazy wondering how they can make knots in their thread when beading but can’t make a know at the end of their thread. We also did soapstone carving kits that I ordered from a place in Edmonton.  They turned out awesome. What have you ladies been up to? Her

Chunky Waves Crochet Throw

Hi all, 

I have no idea where I found Hook and Fibre Made but I love her afghans!! This is the second one I have finished. It almost didn’t happen because I couldn’t find one colour of yarn.  Who knew all I had to do was drive to North Battleford’s WalMart to find it!!

It was so nice out one afternoon so we took advantage of it and took our crafting outside.

Please excuse my Lord Farquadd hair!

 

It just happens! I can’t help it!! Bad length!

Gigi, my horse, has spent 3 weeks at a friend’s ranch, on stall rest, while she healed. Gigi loves Crystal and Crystal has fallen in love with Gigi, too!!  I decided to give this afghan to Crystal as a “Thank you” for all she has done for me and Gigi, too!!

Crystal was so happy to get it. She couldn’t believe how soft it is and said that the colours matched her house perfectly!!

I found another afghan that I want to make. One more to finish before I can start another one!!

Happy Friday

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.
