SHEs Organized

BookSaver's comment in our thread a year ago was, "Let's Have Fun!"

Please do tell here about the fun you are having. Someone may go and pick up their brushes, needles, hooks, pens, cameras or clay because you are having more fun than them, and that won't do!

We're cheering for ya'! Kick up your heels.

I have several quilt ideas in the dreaming, planning, and doing process.

In the planning process is ...
A snowman theme quilted wall hanging for January.
A heart theme quilt for February.

I most likely am attempting quilts beyond my skill but I'm okay with that. I like the challenge and am not afraid of failure. The only thing I don't want to do is to not try.

LadyM, those are beautiful. I especially like the snowman picture. If it's for a wall hanging, will you put tabs at the top or a sleeve to hold it on a rod or something? The heart one has that all over quilting and as I looked closer that quilting has designs like hearts in it, very pretty. On my machine I couldn't really do that, but I could if I hand quilted. That's the part of quilting I really like to do, sitting quietly at my quilt rack making the little tiny stitches by hand. I find that very calming to do. Old school. I don't think many people do that any more.

Did your showman picture come preprinted like that? I can't imagine cutting out all those things and appliqueing them to the top and stitching...so much work. But people do that. Talented people.

I made a whole top one once for DD; I bought a college emblem pattern and put a border around and backing with padding and quilted it all over. I made it extra long lap quilt so her tall sons could use it. She won't let anyone use it!

I love that quilt inspiration LM.

I have re knit up what I ripped out to correct the color sequence on my current project a pink and purple prayer shawl.
Apx. 1/3 of it had to be redone.
Okay did get it knit up to where I was before.
Now apx. 12" left to knit up on this pink & purple prayer shawl. Done knitting.
I also put crochet shell stitch edging on the prayer shawl.

I cut out a vest one layer anyway.
Got a couple of skeins of yarn for scarves I will take a bit of a break between projects.

I'd like to spend some time stamping. Recently on Facebook, I ran across a Stampin up demonstrator doing a "paper share" where she orders every paper in the new catalog and quarters each sheet, so you get some of everything. It came the other day, and these are beautiful.

That is lovely, Harriet!

Yes, very pretty. I especially like the little bead on top. Looks like a lot of work.
