9-patch and knitting

On my design wall is the beginning of a simple 9-patch with sashing that I started today.  I'm trying to use up more of  my blue stash.

I got a nice start on my second sleeve tonight while watching TV.  Only 111 more rows to go.

Today I am grateful for -
1.  My quiet home
2.  Unending fabric stash
3.  Challenging Sudoku puzzles.

A finish and a start

Finished the mini quilt tonight.......................

and started the second sleeve of my sweater.

Today I am grateful for -
1.  juicy red grapes
2.  shopping at the local quilt shop
3.  reliable twice-weekly garbage pickup
4.  reading my favorite blogs

Miniature Quilt

Today I worked on a miniature quilt for our guild's upcoming Mini Auction.  Doing a paper pieced log cabin, I found it easier to do it assembly line style.

I got the quilt finished and quilted.  All I have left to do is add the hanging sleeve, sew down the binding, sew on the decorative butterfly buttons, and sew on the label.

Little by little I have been working on the sleeve of my sweater, and tonight I finished knitting the first sleeve.

I love a day when I can see visible progress on my projects!

Making progress...

Progress on projects at my house.......

Pin basting a quilt and

knitting the second sock.

Progress is almost as much fun as finished.
