Continue reading →: A mellow dayI intended to do some fabric dyeing yesterday but my ankle had other plans. It’s healing really well but I did too much standing and walking Wednesday. I decided to spend most of the day relaxing. I did get my fabrics prepared and plan to do dyeing Saturday. I have…

Continue reading →: Memory Quilt – part 6I made good progress on the quilt yesterday after a slow and lazy Christmas Eve morning. My goal was to get the cross in the middle done because if I didn’t like that then the whole payout would need to change. I wanted to add Zane’s initial somewhere in the…

Continue reading →: A finished blanketI worked mostly on the memory quilt this weekend but it was mostly planning and there isn’t much to show for that! I decided that today I’d share my one crochet finish. This is a wheelchair blanket for donation. I like making these blankets because they are small and quick…
