Traditional Clovers

 

Our day started out sunny, but we knew that rain was coming. So, I started my day with quilting five squares for my new pot holder quilt. We never did get thunderstorms, but I wasn't taking any chances. I never use my sewing machine during a thunderstorm.

After working on my quilt blocks, I worked on another bookmark. This is Traditional Clovers from Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks by Robin Perfetti. I'm still using Autumn Medley by LadyShuttleMaker.

This afternoon I added another strip to my pot holder wall hanging. I have two rows to go.

Tomorrow, Dave and I have some shopping to do in the morning. Mom and I have haircuts in the afternoon. I'm guessing that means there won't be much time for crafting!

Sunday knitting

 

I wanted to finish another scarf for my 7th grade girls so that I could start the next one. So, while watching the Chicago Bears win yesterday, I knit! Yes, I did start the next scarf, which I hope to finish this week. Cooler weather should be coming soon, and I'd like these five girls to get the maximum use out of their scarves.

This morning I finished Traditional Clovers from Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks by Robin Perfetti. I meant to have one less pattern repeat, but I didn't realize I had counted incorrectly until I finished the last clover leaf. So, the end peeks out of the sleeve. I think it will be okay. The thread is size 20 Lizbeth #644 Boysenberry Dk.

My plan is to alternate tatting a Curds & Whey bookmark with one from Robin's book. I don't want to lose my momentum of following the patterns in the book, but I also want to finish tatting bookmarks four our local Daisy troop. I also have three knitting projects and a crochet project going. I need more hours in the day!
