I agree with roundtwo, candleangie. I would use the same dark grey fabric you used in the middle to edge the quilt.

TaDa!! Just needs quilted and bound. Black binding, I think? I think I have this fabric and now must do something like this. Did you get the alien selfie fabric? I could not resist it and I have it cut out. Ps. Waiting for the truckload fabric sale, our store got so much new stuff!

Finished the inside of my 1.12th scale craft room that I posted pics of the outside some time ago. Tried to put in most of the crafts I have tried in the past. A few of which are...deep breath, Sewing, quilting, embroidery, knitting, toy making, Stained glass, paper crafting scrapbooking, card making, silk painting, silver smithing, jewellery making etc. Nice project to add more things to as and when they are made.

I'm still working on my rainbow circle cardigan. It's at the point where the rounds are so big that progress is going slowly now. So, it's a project to pick up for an hour or two at a time while I listen to music or a podcast. I may go ahead and put in the sleeves soon though, to make it easier to monitor my progress, and check the fit as it goes.
Other than that, I got a kit to make some image pendants yesterday. The kind where you adhere a flat clear glass cabochon over an image, then mount it in a tray type pendant. I wanted some large ones (38mm or 1.5") in black. I have one specific necklace in mind to go with an outfit I'm building around a dress I ordered. But want to play around with more of them so I got a 10 piece kit. 10 each of frame pendants, cabochons, and chains.

Quick question of crocheters- my DD wants to make a blanket for her friend’s baby’s 1st birthday. She can knit a little bit apparently, but is new to crocheting. Can anyone recommend an easy pattern she could follow please? Tia

I started a little cardigan for my granddaughter. I love baby knitting, as it goes so fast! I bought this yarn at a market in Canberra, when I was visiting my younger son, and it is so lovely to work with and is so pretty.

DD took up cross-stitching, so that made me pull mine out (haven't cross-stitched in years) and I started a new project I found when I took her to the mega cross-stitch/needlework shop nearby. This will be for my sister who lives at the beach and is newly divorced. It's actually much further along now - I took this picture a few weeks ago. I'll post an update when it's done. One of the buoy bottoms is pretty messed up where the thread pulled too tightly and I don't know what else was going on with it. I thought I'd wait and see how noticeable it is once I'm all finished before deciding if I'm going to pull it out. It's just a small area, but I really detest having to pull stitches out...we'll see.

And, I plan on bringing this with me on vacation soon. I'm traveling alone, so I'll likely have some time in the evenings to work on it. PRETTY LITTLE SEATTLE MichyM, I literally JUST looked at that pattern on Etsy the other day & may even still have it up in my browser. Was looking for my next x-stitch project, and several of the cities in that line caught my eye. And I love the white on yellow bird you made! It's beautiful!

Which other one(s) are you considering? I just got all the colors of floss and got the project organized last night. I was too tired to start on it, but hope to today.

finsup that dune blanket is coming along nicely. I agree that the color combinations she puts together are stunning. And I love the organza bags from wool warehouse. I saved mine from the woodland CAL and I plan to put the finished afghan in it before I mail it to my aunt. That's what I've been working on lately. My brain has been squirrelly so I just can't seem to focus.

I've really been bitten by the sewing bug this weekend. So far I've managed to complete two more of the stars for the star quilt. Those are intricate paper piecing so take forever it seems. Finally burned out on those last night and decided I needed to sew something quick and fun. Since all my pieces were already cut for the Stars & Stripes quilt I started on those. They are a super quick sew! I finished 3 flags last night and 9 this morning. There are 3 more left to do, but I already have them laid out and ready to go (doing a mix of random (whites) and same fabrics (reds) for the stripes. With luck I'll have them both finished by next weekend (tops only). Will try to get some photos later this evening to share.

MichyM , the Seattle one caught my eye because I love the colors. All of her designs are done in such gorgeous color combinations! I was initially looking to see if she had one for Portland OR, but found a lot of her other patterns instead - I especially love the seasonal patterns. I am considering London , Barcelona, and Paris in the Pretty Little Cities line. I prefer the city designs with more blues and greens in them, but unfortunately have no association/affiliation with the cities for those designs so no real reason to do those. Still on the lookout for Portland OR though...I saw one from another seller, but it wasn't the same type. I'm also considering several of the seasonal designs from Satsuma Street though, like this one for spring or this and this for fall. ...so many designs, so little time!

Knitted Knockers is a wonderful organization! I have a friend who sends them boobs of all different shapes and sizes. She really enjoys making them.
