I had a finish this week which makes me happy, and, helps with the yearly stash numbers.
At open sew, yesterday, someone, surprised me with a quilt top that she had made with fabric that I had donated last month. First of all, the turnaround time was impressive, and, the fact, that she knew it was my fabric donation. It makes it much easier to let go of my precious fabric knowing someone will enjoy it. She has plans to add a border, too, from some of it.

I sewed 5 days last week. including a Saturday open sew.
The first loops have been hooked on my new rug hooking project. Not much, but, a start. It's best to start in the middle and work out from there. The rug pattern is called Christmas in new England by Old tattered flag. It is meant to be a tree skirt, but I am changing it to just a circular rug. SO, on dasher and dancer.
These little guys are fiddley, but, fun. I am using scrappy pieces of wool for them. There is a LOT of background on this rug, so, I am digging through my wool stash for any dark blue, and, starting to cut. I don't think I will have to dye any blue, but, I might 'marry' some together to get some variation.

ReplyDeleteThat heart quilt is definitely WOW!. How fun that you got to see where your donation went. Enjoy the new rug project. Do you hope to have it finished by the holiday this year or next?
ReplyDeleteHow lovely for that lady to share what she made! I agree with you--it's so much easier to part with fabric knowing it's going to a good home. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
