I finally have the internet in my new house!! It took nearly three weeks and I've done so much in that time that I can't wait to share. I have a few WiPs going but for today we'll just stick with the ones that are finished or nearly so.
 |
| So this is my second knit finish. I'm pretty in love with it. It is a seed stitch cowl using this really cool yarn that gets variably bigger and smaller. It is #10 on my Q4FAL list. |
 |
| The yarn made for a really cool texture when combined with the seed stitch. It was a fun project and with record low temps in Iowa I've already gotten some good use out of it. |
 |
| Next up I added the borders and basted my Supernova Friendship Swap quilt. Izzy from Dizzy Quilts and I did this together over several months and I just love how it turned out! I added two more blocks to the set that we made so it would be bigger. With me being 6' tall and my hubby 6'6" longer quilts are always welcome. |
 |
| I also finished up and basted my April Showers quilt. I love how this one is pretty basic but really fun too. It shows off the fabric without being terribly obvious that that's what I'm doing. |
 |
| The basting party was fun. I only have hard floors under my dining room table so I had to move it and all the chairs to baste these. I waited until I had three to make it worth the effort. The last one was my Instagram Mini Swap quilt. I just love this and have even started to quilt it already. It is turning out so well! My kids keep telling me they can't believe I'm just going to give this away and suggest I make another for myself. I may just have to do that. |
I'm linking up with
TGIFF and
Finish It Up Friday.
Well, there's my productivity for the week. I am also nearly finished making the foxes for the orange twin-size fancy fox quilt and have made good progress on my knitted hat. Not to mention how the boxes are going away and it's feeling more and more like home here. I hope to have the mini finished this week as the posting deadline is December 1st. I can't wait to show it off! Thanks for stopping by!
Friendship block is looking great but I just love your mini! Fab colours.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have that great big kitchen floor!
ReplyDeleteI love how the Novas extend subtly into the border.
Hope you are loving your new place!
Beautiful quilts! Wait, did you get any sleep this week? :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great set of work here!! We are a tall family, too, so I totally get the love of longer quilts. :) Your kids are right - that mini is so striking, you deserve one, too. Glad you have connection after such a long wait - that's kinda crazy!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness Julie - do you ever sleep? :-). I can't believe how productive you are. All of your projects look really nice - I just love that cowl!
