More Baby Knits

Asher needed a new hat. And here it is.


You can really pull on the ties on this one.




And Melanie is modeling a sweater and hat I knit for a new friend of hers.


I do like pixie bonnets.



 And then there's the sweater with the shawl collar.


 Her friend will have to grow into this one.

Meet Me At the Manor continued

Yes, I haven't post at all in the last couple of months until recently.  That's because I had these wonderful girls living with us. 


I still did get some quilting in, just not as much.  Now I'm starting to get in the roll of it again.
During the last few months, I completed these sections on my house quilt.







That's not too bad, isn't it?  Now back to work on this quilt.

I also knitted him a newborn sweater.




And here he is with all his sisters.

Susan's Quilts

Susan brings me lots of quilts.  She must be always sewing.
She used only batiks on her quilts.

Baby Blanket

Baby blanket's are something I haven't knitted much as I do so many sweaters and hats.  I was asked to do this one for a friend and now it's getting me excited to do more.  There are a lot of nice patterns out there.


This is a very nice soft pattern called Trillium


It's a sport weight yarn which keeps the blanket not too heavy.  This baby was born in June, so it is good for a summer blanket.





And there is Judah with his blanket.

Hawaii Here We Come


This is my newest Hawaiian quilt.  I never gave it a name.  It was for our bed and so I wanted more neutral colors.  
This is my entry in Amy's Blogger Quilt Festival.  Check it out for many more quilts to be seen.



Pinning the pattern on.  I think I copied this from a photo I had pinned on Pinterest.  This was started in January 2017.



You only need to make a pattern for 1/8th of the quilt.  The folding of the fabric, kind of like making snowflakes, makes it easy to do.



Pinning the pattern onto the fabric takes some time as you have all those little cutouts that are part of the big piece.  Keeping it straight and not tangled and then flat on the fabric takes patience and time.



But then once that is done, the fun part comes, which is the applique.



Now it's ready for the quilting.  It did it traditional style on my longarm.


This quilt was finished in April 2018.  It took over a year to complete it.
