Art, Craft and Needlework, June 2015

[Harriet]

We're at a transition time for the seasons, great for outdoor projects like Kathryn has been doing for her decks. Will you be heading inside more often for a respite from the weather soon? What creativity awaits you in June?

In May, Sunny posted photos of her clever new quilt top, under construction!
Now she gets to enjoy the quilting process.
BookSaver posted a link to bright ways to make sewn potholders.
She's considering her sewing group time, and decisions on her dmil's sewing room.
Nancy is knitting a surprise pink and blue baby blanket.
Twins' Mom has been thinking graduation cards and gotten new supplies.

The surprize blanket is nearing completion to big to be very portable so I started a graped colored prayer shawl with some cable patterns in it, I am learning cables now yea! Love new options this brings as I learn in the aran fisherman style knit pattern.

Also started a crocheted doll aka yarn baby.

Dd thrilled to find a top at thrift store that says, "Respect the Artist" and has a design of 4 types of fine arts.

I may have an opportunity to get a Union rug loom if one other gal does not want it. I have wanted one for ever! Do I need it? Probably not lol!
No worries I am not going to stress over it.

I am to the final section on the secret blue & pink knit baby blanket now.
20 rows left to do hope to finish it in the next few days yea!

Yarn baby was a hit toddlerN was delighted with it when she got here found it before I had a chance to show her and did not put it down for 45 min. ! I started another one doing this one from the top down and it is even a better prototype! ToddlerN said that I need to make one for dgd.

Surprise blanket is done.

Here's a finished object, a cat for my newest (8yo) niece. She could not decide if she wanted a brown or a white cat, so I made the obvious solution. It is based on a Care Bear pattern, which has also done duty as a dog and a rabbit. Next, that same pattern is going to become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle for my nephew to be born September.
