Odds and Ends

 There's been stuff going on even though it's all been slow going thanks to all the bathroom drama. We've been working way past 2 so we can get this thing wrapped up.



 This is all I have gotten done on the latest weaving project. It looks great but it's very fiddly. I can only concentrate long enough to get a few rows done a night.



 This is all I have of the April block of the Little Sheep Virtues. My goal is to have the border done and the words. I need to pick up the pace.



This is the latest Dear Jane block. It took forever. See all those little wings hanging out? That means a lot of fiddly seams. It was a bear.



 I have all the interior borders finished and am starting the outers. I am listening to I'll Be Gone in the Dark while I am working on it and it's a real page turner so this project is flying by.



 My free motion quilting has been branching out. I'm taking risks on Daddio's wedding ring lap quilt and I like it. I think he would have too.



Finally, I have to thank Witchknits for this amazing surprise. It is a beautiful light and lacy shawl. I am a big shawl wearer in this drafty old house so this is very much appreciated. It will get tons of use.



I also have to thank Sandy for this adorable apron and project bag. I live in aprons and this one is so darn cute. I am also fighting the urge to start a project that matches that bag because that's how I do things.
Ladies, I can't thank you both enough!

  2. What talent you have! I, too, have several unfinished projects of a different art - mine is in children's book writing. I keep telling myself I need to pick up the pace, but somehow creativity has to take its own timetable.
