I've been hooking from a young age, but the only top I've ever attempted got chopped up and recycled!
Once I get over the shock of how much wool costs these days, I will succumb and line up a wee Christmas/movie watching project.
This afternoon I started quilting the Tilda Hourglass Twist Quilt.
You may remember seeing Karen's pattern in a recent issue of Love Patchwork and Quilting. It's a great wee pattern, and in no time at all the units were up on my design board.
But then I started to doubt that the fabrics I chose were going to work! Now that I'm quilting it I'm happy to report that I'm falling in love with it again!
Wanna see the special friends who keep me company while I sew?

Gorgeous buddies that are sewing with you. I love to sit in the evening and knit as I am a noob in crochet. It is sad that wool is that expensive but hope you find some that suits you in price and material.
ReplyDeleteHi Judith! I love your quilt with the soft colours! You have a lovely place to sew; I would love to watch the road, which looks quiet enough, while sewing. Lovely pattern to crochet. Good yarn is really expencive (as the Fabrics, too). Cute little buddies on your lamp. x Teje
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful pictures! I love the hexies especially.
ReplyDeleteI always see crochet patterns for tops online and think of you for some reason, probably because the shape and style would suit you so well. Hope you find wool that doesn't break the bank so you can get hooking soon.
ReplyDeleteStupid iPad froze the second half of my comment. Wanted to say how much I love your hexies. I hadn't realised the scale of them in previous pics but they look like a brilliant size to work with and make up reasonably quickly. That is such a cosy picture!
ReplyDeleteOh, polka dots and stripes and all so subtle...very nice and that flower patch is fun too. The first patches i ever made were grandma flower gardens by hand when I was about 7 years old.
ReplyDeleteI started knitting again and am horrified by the cost. Big risk as what I knit may well turn out to be horrible anyway! Love to epp though infront of the fire and lunchtimes in work
ReplyDeleteLove all you've been working on lately, I'm predicting your November finishes mosaic is going to be bigger than the October one!
ReplyDeleteThose hexes are really coming along! I've some wool to pass on to you... Lovely soft Debbie Bliss wool. I got it ages ago thinking I'd become a real knitter/crocheted, but it's just not my thing. I'll dig it out, and you can see if it might suit for some present or future project.
ReplyDeleteBy which I mean, of course, 'hexies' and 'crocheter' ...
DeleteJust love your sewing location with the view out the window...great light and built in entertainment!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous EPP work, I love the way you are putting it together. How big will it be in the end?
