Lynne's Quilt

Lynne also likes swirls.  So swirls I did.  That must be a favorite of lots of quilters.

T-Shirt Quilt

I have the top all put together for my customer's T-shirt quilt.  She is liking the look of it. 

Now it's just waiting to be quilted and then bound.

Cheryl's Quilts

Cheryl brought me 2 quilts to do for her.

This first one is a handkerchief quilt.  It scared me a little as the handkerchiefs are so very thin and the needle on my machine is not small.  But it worked out fine. 

Cheryl wanted loose swirls on this quilt.

and she wanted tighter swirls on her dog quilt.

My New LIttle Rug

We redid our family room and went real light.  A light grey rug and also a light grey loveseat.  

The problem showed up that the spot in front of my chair was getting dirty on this lovely wool rug.  I don't wear shoes, but feet can get dirty also in a house. And we also have lots of traffic.

So I decided to crochet a rug that I could throw into the washing machine to put down for my feet.

 Yes, it has holes but my feet don't go through the holes.  It is also really soft.  The granddaughters like to play with it.

 It is a free pattern and with the bulky yarn that I used, it didn't take much time to crochet.  It just takes some finger muscles with the S hook I used and the heavy yarn.

Here is my ravelry link to the project.

Dorothy's Quilt

If you like purple, you should like this one.

I did a swirly pattern on this.

Sweet Little Baby Girl Layette

I may have another granddaughter.  You never know.  So I am preparing.  This is a vintage looking layette that I just had to make.  It is a newborn size and I know it won't last long.  The baby better not be 9 lbs.

I used a soft washable merino on this outfit.  It looks just like the picture.

The eyelet pattern is unusual and easy to do.

The baby booties are very sweet.

My Ravelry link.  You will find the pattern and the yarn that I used here.

A New Little Baby Blanket

My daughter -in-law sent me a picture of a blanket she saw in a store that she really liked.  So I copied it for her.

 I went to Joann's and found a nice, soft bulky yarn.  Then I looked at the picture ant counted how many stitches were in the cable.  I made a little practice swatch to see how many cables I would need to make a blanket the width I wanted

When I actually did the real thing, the blanket compressed with the cables so it was narrower than I prefer.  But it will work.

This is one blanket that I think I'll make again.  I really like it.

My Ravelry link.  I have put on it basically how I created the blanket.
