This is so cool!

Nothing from me today (hopefully I’ll have some finished quilt blocks to show you tomorrow). But I just had to give you this link. Please go here and have a look at my friend Kerin’s fabulous work! See you tomorrow

And the winner is…

Here’s Gorgeous Girl ready to draw the name – 45 entries! That’s the same number of comments I got when she was born. Who will it be? What do you mean I can’t eat it? And the winner? Slightly moist around the edges, but it’s number 12 – The Chocolate Cat. She’s a relatively new [...]

A question for the knitters out there

Greetings, I’m feeling much better, after hitting a low point on Saturday. I have a question for all the knitters out there. My hands are getting cold typing on the computer all day and I want to make a pair of fingerless gloves. I’d like to use the Malabrigo yarn that Beth sent. Does anyone [...]

A baby in hand knits

Don’t forget to enter my contest! You have until Thursday. Well, it’s been really cold here this week and so I got out some hand knits for Gorgeous Girl to wear. These items were knitted long before she was even a gleam in the eye. I had some yarn leftover from a gift that I [...]

A contest

I get to telecommute (fancy-schmancy way of saying work from home) with regular trips into the office (which is Gorgeous Girl friendly).

Beautiful malabrigo yarn (this is going to marinate while I ruminate on the perfect pattern – suggestions welcome), a [...]

It still needs a lot of work, and it’s my first time designing a website – though this was a really easy programme to use (and it’s free!). I asked if there had been further complaints about [...]

Quiltathon

This weekend I decided to participate in Judy’s quiltathon. The time difference between South Africa and the USA makes it hard to report in real time, but it was still fun to set aside time just for quilting. I didn’t get as much done as I’d like, but I remind myself that I do have [...]

Exhausted

It’s been one of those weeks, after my great start with the hand quilting last week I haven’t done much at all this week. Gorgeous Man has been sick, I feel like I’m getting what he’s got and there’s some other stuff going on that has eaten into quilting time, but I can’t talk about [...]

The hand quilting continues

The hand quilting is coming along well. If I can maintain my current pace then I will be finished before my self-imposed deadline. I’ve finished a plain block, a monkey block, and a guinea fowl block since my last post. I won’t bore you with all of the blocks, but here is the guinea fowl. [...]
