I’ve always loved peeking in on Ginny’s Yarn Along linkup series and seeing what beautiful items are being created. Since knitting isn’t one of my skill sets (yet! maybe someday?), I thought I would start a more generalized series on my blog highlighting what handicraft I’m working on each month. I’m thinking this could be anything from quilting and cross-stitch to DIY home décor and mending. Anything that I’m working on in the little pockets of free time throughout my day.
So here goes! Here’s what’s in my workbasket right now:
I started a new cross-stitch project. I want to do a gallery grouping of framed sampler-style projects, but need a substantial piece for the middle. I found this pattern for free and adjusted the colors to match ones I already own. So far, so good.
I also pulled out the grandmother’s flower garden quilt again. I started the quilting by hand months ago, but it quickly became unbearable to have a thick blanket on my lap in 90+ degree heat. I’d really like to finish in time to actually use it this winter, so I need to get moving!
Last one: I found this little piece among my fabrics. I must have made it at least a decade ago? No idea what I had planned to do with it, so I’m brainstorming now: a doll quilt? a pillow? a zipper pouch?
Oh I think you should make a throw pillow with it! It is so cute!!
I’m always impressed by all that you do. I hope you can finish the quilt by winter
