I've had many projects on the go and these are just a few of the ones that I have been working on.
I've made 5 of these scarfs - so much fun and quick to do. I like to maximize my time so I wondered why I couldn't do two at a time on one set of needles. Just had to try it and it worked like a charm.
Next thing I accomplished was to do a baby card for a young couple at church for their first little one. Took the card to work to show some co-workers and wouldn't you know it - left it there and I was planning to drop off my gift that evening. So I came home and whipped up another one which I thought turned out much better than the original. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the second one which I ended up giving the couple but here is a picture of the first. The bear in the second one didn't turn out looking so 'angry'!
Then I had the privilege of having my 12 year old niece come and spend Friday night and Saturday with me to do some sewing. She wanted to learn to quilt and not that I am an expert but I shared what I know with her and we had lots of fun. She did everything from sewing to designing and ironing. The only thing that I took care of was the cutting. I didn't want to end up spending our time together in the emergency.
I think Alyssa did amazing in designing and putting together all of the pieces that we had to work with. She kept measuring it by laying beside it to make sure it was long enough so now my job is to get it done before she outgrows it! lol
Great job Alyssa!! I can see a future of quilting for you.
