Design Wall Monday

 This week I have a "Design Table"...............

I found these fabrics in the attic and wanted some spring placemats......I even made hemstitched napkins to match...............  I have one more set cut out and ready to stitch but after that I plan to alter the placemats to fit my round table.................

Take a look at Patchwork Times for more inspiration from all over..........HERE

On the Needles Friday

On Friday Judy at Patchwork times hosts On the Needles.......... HERE A great place to see what others are doing and get even more ideas for things to knit.............

 At last I have finished the sweater for my dear sister..........  She and her husband came for a few days and we had a wonderful time..........  We even shopped for buttons for this sweater................

I got them sewn on and it was all ready to wear...........  I think I want one too...... We shall see.......   I have about 2 dozen more ruffle scarves to make and some yarn to use up making hats for adults and babies.....

Maybe I will even have more knitting done by next Friday.......

On The Needles Friday

Judy at Patchwork Times HERE hosts On The Needles Friday each week.  Be aware that you will see just one more thing that you really want to do..........

I am showing progress on Jean's sweater........... All that is left is the neck ribbing, the button band, and sewing the side and sleeve seams.............  I can see this ready to give to her when they come to visit....

Blocking Jean's Sweater

All the parts have been completed and the sweater is drying in the sun...............

Then I can sew the parts together and add the finishing touches..........  It will be so good to finish this for a very special sister......

Last night I finished the last of the scarves Cassie brought me yarn to make and began working on the six scarves I am making for Kate.......

Many years ago I started the Mar Bek Nativity...........  It is such a large piece and often got pushed to the side for other things more urgent........  Then I started quilting and it really got put behind...........

I decided last week that I would work on it for an hour each morning..........  

I have all the things I need even the frame that was designed for it.............

As you can see the star is coming along and one angel is begun..................

Lets see what I can do in a week.............
