Sooo, what now? I've been keeping busy with some charity quilts and I'm trying to finish off some projects that I've been working on for far too long. I need more space in my sewing room, so I'm finishing off things. I wonder how long that will last. When I was at my sewing group a couple of weeks ago, one of the ladies there gave us a lesson in entrelac knitting. She made it look really easy!! Guess what? It isn't. I made a couple of practice bits with two different colours of yarn, but there were so many ends and they were in danger of taking over. So, I decided to have a go at a scarf but instead of two different colours, I bought some of that yarn that changes colour as you go along. I'm sure there's a more technical name for it but you know what I mean. Anyway, so far (fingers crossed) it seems to be going alright. You never know, I might even show it to you when I've finished it.
I know, over the years, I've made all sorts of quilts: lots of different types and patterns. Every so often though, I get the feeling that a trend is happening. This is the fourth quilt with a name on that I've made. This one and Emma's quilt were really close together ( like, one after the other) I like this one, it looks fresh. It's already gone off to its new home and I had a picture back, of little Theodor examining it really closely. I love it when I get a picture of my quilt being used. That makes me happy.
