So Sew...

While I have been busy knitting up a storm and sewing, I have failed terribly in the area of taking photos.  So I thought I would play catch up on a couple of quilt projects I have finished - although their next stop will be the longarmer.

This is David Butler's Curious Nature quilt, pattern free on Free Spirit Fabrics.  While it is free, you do have to enlarge it immensely but it was worth the cost for that.  The fabric is divine.  I LOVE this quilt.  So much so, that I have ordered fabric to do another one. This photo does not do the fabric justice.  While my local quilt shop, Intown Quilters has been sold out of this fabric, I did manage to find enough of the colorways I needed on line.  They should be here by Friday.  Did I tell you I love this quilt?  David is the husband of Amy Butler, just in case you were Curious...



The paper that is adhered to the bottom right here is a numbering system I developed to help my old brain when sewing this together!

And here is Pickle Dish top finished.  Love this one too.  Pickle Dish will be for me!  It was fun once I got the hang of putting these together on my new quilt wall.  Couldn't have accomplished it without the wall.



In knitting news, Hiya Hiya SHARPs continue to be extremely popular.  Anyone who tries them, loves them.  I am working on a Wingspan currently and am enjoying the heck out of it.

Other than that, life gets in the way of all the crafts I would rather be doing 24/7 !  Hope this finds you all happily crafting along...  More photos and projects finished soon...
