Time to start on some UFOs--this will be a good way to finish the year so the new year will be open to new projects that can and most likely become UFOs!!
It's time to trim up 16 blocks from a quilt along--I used all hand dyed fabric--looks good for sure. Now, I just need to figure a way to put them together. I want to use the same fabric to place together. I have studied many quilt as you go you tubes and found a couple that could work.
Easy to trim to size--10,5". Then I'll need to add borders--that's a complete learning experience. No matter have old you grow, always continue learning.
Slowly, but surely, I'm working through this book, which has been in my library for awhile. I love the works of this author and have made several of their projects. I'm working on individual blocks to make small hangings
so far, I've completed 6 and working on the others as I can. fusible is my friend along with blind hem stitch on my machine. Luckily, there is a bin of unused bindings!
Well, this was a total stupid idea! I found two pieces of flannel left in the stash (two blues) which I seamed together and got a yard--thinking it would be good to make a baby blanket. not wasting the fabric. Looking for a backing, I searched internet fabric stores (so miss Jo=ann's!!) Did find this backing piece at Hancock's of Paducah.
finished!! I like to do a blind hem stitch around the edge with perle cotton, which is in my stash!
Michael Beanie is knit with stash yarn!! It is well aged for sure. I remember where I purchased it in early 2000. It's an easy hat to knit--just one problem--I missed the part of instructions to knit one inch ribbing of K1 P1. think I'll go back to pick up stitches on edge and knit that ribbing.
Okay--now, to search bins to see if I can find any other UFO before I begin another project!
