I am afraid that too many pieces of fabric have found their way into my stash, lately. With all the holiday shopping, they are hiding, until, I can properly sort through it.

I did get a picture of a jelly roll and some mystery fat quarters. The fat quarters will be great for finishing my crown blocks. The jelly roll are solids called sunroom. They are pretty colors that are different than usual solid colors.

I sewed 5 days last week. 

I soaked and set the yarn I have made recently. It is a fun process. I love seeing the colors soaking in the water, and, then, I squeeze them in a towel to dry as much as possible. I hang them to finish drying on a hanger and add a weight to "set" the twist. They look so happy hanging together. It makes me smile.

I don't have a project for the yarn, yet.

My quilt guild's Christmas party was last week. We played a pass a yard of fabric game and the aqua floral was what I took home. The fat quarter was the prize I won. We had a pitch in for food and it was so yummy. There are just some favorites that I only get at a potluck.

I did a little more spinning. This was a purchased 4 ounce braid of merino wool roving. I hope to work on it some more today for slow Sunday stitching. It is very slow and peaceful spinning. And gets my mind off of goals and deadlines. I need to dye more wool to start with a new -old project for rug hooking.

I sewed 6 days last week. 

As I was cleaning a pile of stuff, I found a bit of fluff, and thought it had been a while, since, I had spun anything. I always enjoy the process. I find it soothing and relaxing. I need to make some time for this again. I could pack it all away, if, I don't actually spin anything. Once, I do, I am hooked again. I dyed this wool, and carded it a few years ago.

so pretty

tada - yarn

 There is no change in fabric count this week. I  started cutting yellow scraps for my ongoing rainbow scrap challenge.

I have started spinning one Sunday a month. The idea was to decide if it was time to let this hobby go, including all the stuff that goes with it. I have a better chance of that happening, if, I don't start spinning. Because, now, I like it again.... a lot.

Last year, I took my bags of carded wool and started combining them into colors I might like together. This is one of them. It is mostly merino wool.

There was only 8 ounces. 

I couldn't wait to spin it all to see how it would look. I made a small skein for fun. I still have a bit more to do.

it looks a little washed out here

I added a few pretties to the stash. I spend too much time on the computer buying fabric.

 I stitched at least 15 minutes every day this week. 

I have some spinning I want to do today for slow Sunday stitching. I did get last week's yarn "set" and drying this week by soaking it in warm soapy water. And rinsing in two more soaks of plain water. It's important to not agitate or twist but press the water out of the yarn. Then I rolled it in a towel and hung it on a hanger with another hanger at the bottom for weight.

 This yarn is one of our sheep to shawl wool yarns. We bought a dirty wool fleece and washed it several times. Combed it, carded it, and spun it. It is more of a white cream than the picture shows. There should be enough in a fleece to make a sweater, but, that is still a long way out for me. Any way, I plan on working on it a little at a time to make progress since there has been so much work invested so far. I think we bought the fleece in 2015.

rug class

Day 2 of my hubby's back surgery recovery, and, I made a good start on a drop stitch scarf. I'm sure I have altered the pattern with a little boo boo here and there. It is really looking pretty good, considering I was interrupted every 20 minutes. And was bored easily.

I realized I haven't posted about a rug hooking class last week with a teacher from Noblesville that our group invited for a workshop. We are learning shading using her flower pattern. Our choices were purple or red. My kit is the red.

This is our teacher's rug, and, I really liked it. Maybe mine will look good too. I haven't worked on it much yet. We are still at the hospital, waiting to find a balance between pain and his blood pressure being too low. He is very uncomfortable.

One of the stashes I need help corralling, is finished quilts. I want to be able to see them without worrying if they are ok. I have been keeping them in a big pile in the corner of my bedroom.
So, when I found this curio cabinet at Goodwill, I was thrilled. It works just like I want it to work in my space. Truth be told, I might need many of them.

Many Sundays, I enjoy spinning and making yarn. I started the year with a 2 pound batch of dyed roving, and officially, it is now, all spun. There should be enough yarn to make a sweater. But I haven't planned that yet.

I had a chance to dig out blocks for glitter quilt, and I started putting them into pairs. It was so fun to see them again.

And for slow and steady stitching today, I have a binding to hand sew. I look forward to that.

It has been awhile since I ordered from Missouri star quilt company. There have been so many very pretty precuts on special, but I have so many I haven't even opened. I needed thread for the quilting the planet quilt, and there just happened to be a charm pack special, so I clicked the add it to my cart button.It was a day when you could order more of the daily deal than the usual one. I bought 3 charm packs of crystal farm by Edyta Sitar and a mystery charm pack sandscapes chips in green.

I have been slow Sunday spinning and after several weeks, this is the result. There is about 500 yards altogether in eggplant. I am setting the spin after a good wash. I love to see it hanging there looking like real yarn. I still have a pound of this roving to spin, and I will be working on it a little every week.

Flowering again

She's back - I was afraid she was dying.

On my design wall - I am using Elizabeth Hartman's chart for the placement. Right now, I don't like it. But, maybe I am not holding my mouth right.
