Today's bookmark is "Vineyard" from Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks by Robin Perfetti. This one took quite a while to tat, but it certainly was worth the time invested!
My big accomplishment today was to tat "Wildflowers" from FourDozen Tatted Bookmarks by Robin Perfetti. The thread is size 20 Hakelgarn, hand-dyed "Granny Delicious" from LadyShuttleMaker.
I also managed to quilt six more blocks for my next pot holder quilt today. Crafting will probably slow down for the next week. Daughter Joanne and family will arrive on Friday for a week long visit, and I'm sure spending time with family will be my priority!
I finished my pot holder quilt today! I made it as a wall hanging, but now I'm thinking of keeping it as a lap throw for myself. If I do decide to use it as a wall hanging, all I need to do is add some hanging strips at the top. Dave really likes it for a wall hanging. Decisions, decisions!
I love this bookmark! The pattern is "Inversion" from Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks by Robin Perfetti. I had to follow the instructions step-by-step, but it was well worth it for me. The thread is size 20 Hakelgarn, hand-dyed "Granny Delicious" from LadyShuttleMaker. I'm really glad I've decided to use my hand-dyed threads. What took me so long?
I now have four rail fence blocks quilted. I had hoped to finish six today, but I ran out of steam. I don't have a deadline, so there's really no rush.
I finished adding the fourth strip to my new wall hanging. I only have one strip left to add!
I finished quilting the last of my 10" squares for my new patriotic quilt. This afternoon I laid out the strips for the rail fence blocks. Once I have those finished, I will decide on the layout and the method of finishing the blocks.
It was a rainy afternoon here, and it looks like it will be rainy again tomorrow... perfect crafting weather!
Today's bookmark is "Asymmetry" from Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks by Robin Perfetti. This one took me all morning, about four hours. I feel like I get slower every time I pick up my shuttles!
This afternoon I worked on quilting five more blocks. I have five more to go, and then I will start working on my rail fence blocks. I have an idea for joining these blocks, which I will try out with some fabric left over from other projects. If my idea works, I'll be sure to share it!
As I thought, I really didn't have time for crafting yesterday. I thought I would have a lot more time today, but I didn't accomplish much!
I washed a couple of loads of laundry, took my daily walk, and went grocery shopping with Mom. This afternoon, I sat down with my tatting.
This is "Fern" from Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks by Robin Perfetti. I'm still using LadyShuttleMaker's Autumn Medley.
I hope to get some quilting time in tomorrow, and I'd like to tat another bookmark. We will see what tomorrow brings!
