FAL 2019 – Q2
Well, this is going to look embarrassingly familiar... Q1 did not go well from a finishing standpoint. I finished a shawl. Woo. Items with * are priority 1. Night Sky Quilt I loved this quilt the moment I saw it. I have 9 of the blocks assembled... 2. Gravity Quilt C*...
FAL 2019 – Q1
Crafting went right out the window in the last half of 2018. Time to get back on the bandwagon! Items with * are priority 1. Night Sky Quilt I loved this quilt the moment I saw it. I have 9 of the blocks assembled... 2-3. Gravity Quilt C* & D I had so much fun...
Stellar Pillow
The 108 coloured scraps of the Gravity quilt make a beautiful throw cushion called Stellar. Based on my experience on making the first pillow, I even cut out the triangles as I cut the pieces of the quilt, in hopes that it would speed up the assembly process. But no,...
My first sweater
I've had this pattern on Knitty on the brain since it was published - even though I couldn't knit! Once I realized that I COULD knit, and I was ready for a larger project, I invested in lovely Sugar Bush Bold yarn and started my squishy sweater. I started the sweater...
FAL 2018 – Q2
Again with the "no real surprises" list. Q1 was very slow for most crafting. April isn't looking good either, thanks to work. Items with * are priority 1. Night Sky Quilt I loved this quilt the moment I saw it. I have 9 of the blocks assembled... 2. Blue Lucky Star...
Mom’s Stash Quilt #3

FAL 2018 – Q1
New year, but it's a pretty familiar list... 1. Mom's Stash Quilt, #3 Quilt 1 and 2 were so loved that a third is requested. Mom's stash of fabric is still going, even after making King and Queen quilts... maybe the third will be the end of the suitcase of fabric?...
FAL 2017 – Q4
Q3 was pretty darn productive! This list is a lot shorter now - or, at least it was until I started on adding the Christmas gifts 🙂 1. Zick Zack Scarf This is a Christmas gift, so needs to get completed quickly. 2. Christmas Tree Skirt Unusual colours, but their tree...
FAL 2017 – Q3
Q2 was a "close, but not quite" quarter. I have a few projects very close to done, but they didn't cross the finish line in time. 1. Karen's Log Cabin Quilt Started in 2000 by Karen, it's languished in a closet for about 16 years ... then it moved to my house to be...
