Crockett pants
Im preparation for the new arrival…. a pair of wool longies (hopefully a long size 3-6m)… just because, I knitted the Fibonacci sequence in on one leg…. (starting on the left, with the orange: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and then the cuff…) I also drafted out a pair of 3-6m pants, with extra roominess for the cloth diapers, made with flannel Dr Seuss scraps from the back of the pennant quilt. I think they’ll be cute with a dark blue...
Read MoreMore bags
Just out of the dryer. New quilts make me happy…. and here’re some tester bags, made with Quilter’s Linen scraps (from the chopsticks quilt) and some Stitch scraps (left over from when I slipcovered these chairs at Market)… this one above is the Keyka Lou grocery bag, with handles in the wrong places, and below is one just whipped out of 15″ squares (miscut when attempting to cut the 15×20 pieces for the KL bag. Oops. Time to make lemonade from my lemons.) I made the lining peek out so it looks piped… sorta and bagged the bottoms,...

These are from the grocery bag pattern by Keyka Lou, made for Robert Kaufman. I love that multicolored raindrop flower print. And the numbers are cool...
Read MoreWeekend prep…
I’m super excited (and grateful) to get to go away for a sewing weekend with some friends (and some hopefully-soon-to-be-friends that I’ve never met)… I have lots of plans of what I’m going to work on, so to make things go more smoothly (and make sure I bring the right supplies/amounts), I’ve been pre-cutting here, and sewing up sample blocks… I really want to use the Greenfield Hill fabric, and am thinking of making a postage stamp quilt with it…. this one will actually be sewn with solids, but I wanted to check my triangle math with scraps before...
