More Quilting

quilting1

I’ve been doing a bit more of this. I think I should have used white thread on the top, but I’m certainly not unpicking. I’m about two thirds of the way through.

Alphabet Quilt – O

This one didn’t register very well and if I have any fabric left at the end I will make another.

Alphabet Quilt Block – N

Another block finished – and yes that does mean a bit more ironing got done.

A Return to the Alphabet Quilt

m

I’ve finished another block for my Alphabet Quilt.

I like to do machine embroidery while tackling the ironing. It means I can keep an eye on my machine and the ironing doesn’t seem as tedious.

I still have an ironing pile so ‘N’ might happen today as well …

Oh and this is my 200th post – how cool is that?

Scarf Update

scarf_a_progress

I’ve been working away on Miss A’s scarf. The pattern in the yarn is quite extraordinary and unexpected.

The yarn is Panda Magnum (8ply) and the pattern is from here.

I bought a copy of The Knitter magazine – it is beautiful, high production values and lovely (although I imagine tricky) patterns.

I’ve decided to try this one …

It is ‘Rhapsody’ by Jean Moss (it’s in Issue 6)  I bought the yarn – Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk DK in fuschia from here (they have an amazing range of wool but their customer service is poor).
