From the knitting department, I needed a quick baby gift for a church member. He is a football coach and I thought a baby toboggan to match his team uniforms would be cool. Or warm rather.....during the chilly fall game nights. It turned out cute although I am not sure I like the style. It… Continue reading More Tiger stuff
Tiger stripe, Oh My
I really think the tiger stripe sashing makes this quilt top. It blends perfectly with the other colors and the black border provides the final finish for a fabulous combination. I'm excited about getting this one quilted and out this week. If nothing happens, that is. The way things have been going, I can never… Continue reading Tiger stripe, Oh My
My photo skills must improve!
Every "artist" needs a portfolio. Every craftsman needs to maintain a catalog of their works or at the very least, a catalog of samples of her work. I realize that. So I keep trying to make pics of completed items and add then to my "catablog". But evidently my photographic skills have gone down the… Continue reading My photo skills must improve!

Terrific Team scarf
I finally found the solution to the earlier scarf problem. In knitting scarves to sell, several people requested some in local school colors. I remember when those were a hot item to wear with your letter jacket. Evidently, they are not available any more. I tried to knit a few in garter stitch using some… Continue reading Terrific Team scarf
T-shirt quilt finally finished
I FINALLY finished the sorority T-shirt quilt for a customer. I hope the person receiving it as a Christmas gift is not disappointed. It turned out beautiful but I have to admit it was a struggle. Most t-shirts quilts just have between 20-25 panels in the top with plain fabric borders and this one was… Continue reading T-shirt quilt finally finished
