rug twining

My Friday quilt friends asked me to teach them to twine a rug. I enjoy the process and love the rugs I have made. They are the best scatter rugs I have ever had. They lay completely flat, and don't schooch. And they are machine washable. I made the frame for Sue and she wanted to try to use up odd strips of scraps. We managed to get the warp put on using an old sheet, and she started the actual twining.

Here is the post explaining how I made the frame

Here is the last rug I was making

 I have a not worked on the carolina Crossroads mystery quilt this week but I did get a few more  making waves blocks finished. Others I have done.

making waves

Last night was my little quilt group. It has been a while since I have felt good enough to go. I keep piecing projects back for when I go to this group. I had one I knew was in progress. I searched for about an hour to find it, gave up and found another that would do. I made chocolate walnut bread that was a new recipe and It was yummy. My hubby made a great lettuce salad to take, and I made homemade french dressing. Sometimes, deciding on what to take for food is the hardest part for me. When I started to unpack my machine, guess what was in the case.......the project I had been looking to find. how clever of me.
I finished 6 blocks or 3 months. This is an older Joann block of the month called making waves.

I really like the block of the month from Joann. They come with the pieces already cut and organized, and it is just a matter of piecing. I use a coupon for as many as I can. It is full of fabrics I would not normally think to put together, so I get a chance to see how that works. Sometimes it feels like I am cheating, but it works really well for away from home projects.

It was so good to get out and about again.
