Crochet or Knit - June Progress

 After a few starts and pull-outs and start again, I'm finally on track with 2 woolen projects for Christmas gifts. I don't think I've shared my first finish ... the pattern is HoundsTooth or Cat's Tail or ElephantsTrunk. You can read more about it on my blog.

The next 2 are kits from BHG.  I really wanted to knit a rug on circular needles, however I'm running out of room on the needles and am waiting for an order or a longer set to arrive ... they're 10mm.

The other I am following the knitted pattern with a 15mm crochet hook ... not much to show yet. As our school term wrapped up I've been working extra days and haven't had the urge to pick up a project.

One more kit to go once these are finished ... will it be a knit or crochet?

June finishes

 

This was a free pattern on the internet that i traced out several years ago & finally got around to stitching last year & now it's finally off my ufo pile. :)

I stitched this The Birdhouse by Natalie Bird pattern back in 2019

and this one in 2020(also by Natalie Bird) & now they are both ready to hang this Christmas.

Happy Stitching,

May and June Finishes

Hello all!
I'm here today with lots of finishes, including

ones for May and June.  I didn't get anything

made for April but posting for May just slipped

right on by me so it's time to make up for that!

I finally stumbled across a panel that I just

could not say no to.  Not only did I grow up

on a large farm but today I have a huge

garden and lots of chickens.  You could say

I'm a Farm-to-Table foodie fanatic!

So I bought two panels.

Quilting a whole set of 4 placemats at

once is not a bad way to go!  Within 24

hours, I had all 8 quilted and one set bound

and complete.  (A person could get a lot of

gifts done this way!)

Admittedly, it took me a few more weeks to get

around to binding the second set while I

deliberated on which binding I liked more.

One set is for a gift, the other is on our own table.

Next I designed and made two patriotic table runners.

I'm not sure if I'll wait till Christmas to gift the

first, or maybe surprise the recipient now?

I am keeping the second as I made

it specifically to fit our entry table.

(Is anyone sensing a theme here?  LOL)

 These went together so easily, mostly with

the quilt-as-you-go method, so I created a

little tutorial on my blog if you are interested.

I'm planning on doing more for other holidays.

They're a great scrap buster--fabric and batting.

In other news, I sold a few quilts and am working on

two now; I entered two in a charity contest--one of 

which took first place out of 100 entries!  I shipped

off 3 baby quilts for another charity; and for a little

extra fun, I took my machine outside one particularly

 beautiful day and made a table topper to match the

quilt currently on our bed (using the HST trimmings

from that quilt).  I'm definitely keeping busy in the

sewing room but hopefully July will have me back

to posting in a more timely manner!

Will be watching for everyone's projects!

Happy gift-sewing!

Hello There!

 Hello There!

My name is Patricia and I blog over at faithtrustandbreastcancer.blogspot.com.  For years I've been wanting to join your group and am so glad to finally make it!  

After organizing my sewing room, I found quite a few of Rachel's of Greenfield's Christmas ornaments kits.  I decided it was time to enjoy them, so I pulled out this cute little Christmas ornament kit called "Charcoal Mittens".    

Here's what I finished last month:

Three more to go!  

I'm looking forward to sharing my journey from kits to ornaments with you!  Even more, I'm eager to read your posts!  

April and May

 I seem to have fallen a little behind with my plan for the year.  But I have finished a few ornaments.
