Progress Report

Mary posted this on her blog and I thought it was a good idea, though I don't have any photos at the moment:
  • Started crocheting a woollen blanket following inspiration from Joanna and Mr. Monkey Suit




  • a bag full of yarn, some purchased more than six years ago on a sale in Didsbury, Manchester, the pink yarn came from eBay earlier this year.

  • Cut and ironed fabric for Paula's Princess bed blanket and got started on prepping fabric for the piping.

  • Abstained from beginning a fourth project, a disappearing nine patch


  • Tonight I will get cracking on the piping and binding for Paula's blankie.

    I like its diversity

    Whip-Up. Also posting links on here is a much nicer way to waste .. ahem ... spend my time than working ;-)

    Craft for China: Charity Auction

    I just confirmed my first bid on this:



    ... so run along and outbid me like you have done in the past ... when I missed two gorgeous quilts by $10 each in the Kim family auction ;-)

    Almost done quilting

    I'm happy to report that I am almost finished quilting the dragon, now it's onto wrinkles and creases that need to be added to add more structure.



    Looking at the calendar, I think I will have to interrupt this project to free up time for Paula's princess bed kit. Her birthday is later this month whereas the Dragon only needs to be finished by July 24.

    Gotta love IKEA: the material mosquito netting, already dressed, bed linen and a fleece blankie



    and preliminary lay-out:
