Seeing as I was making Loyal Union Sampler as a BOW I thought I would be really clever and make a matching quilt for our king single beds at the same time!! I am using a range of fabrics called Primrose Lane that I have been hoarding for about 10+ years!
These Lovely mini-skeins of yarn were carefully hand-dyed in small batches, sourced from recycled/preloved wool yarn.
I dyed & painted them in all sorts of vibrant colors; you get one skein of each:
- turquoise
- golden yellow
- candy pink
- grassy green
I have developed an eco-friendly dyeing process that uses no harsh chemicals, but gives deep, vibrant colors that are permanent. I use only clean high-quality, recycled yarn for the production of many of my products. Many knit items that would normally be disposed of can be unraveled for their yarns!
Specs:
- 2 ply, "worsted-chunky" weight
- Each mini-skein is approx 20 yards in length; so you get 80 yards total.
- 100% wool, handwash gently with mild soap, let air dry.
- perfect for knitting, crocheting, weaving small projects, use these to edge a larger project, a unique gift, or as an addition to your fiber arts palette!
Worked by Maria Forster 1869-1932, to celebrate the Marriage of her sister Sarah to John Samuel Heeler on January 22nd 1891 at St Nicholas Church Warwick.
Este Sampler teve inicio em 2002, quando iniciei um curso básico de Patch, na época eu precisava aprender as noções básicas para poder iniciar a montagem dos acolchoados do projeto Love Quilts Brasil.
Ai, os blocos ficaram de lado e só pude retomar e decidir o que fazer com eles em 2008. ( Há um tempinho atrás mostrei prá vocês a foto do topo pronto) Estes blocos na verdade foram os descartados do quilt, (ô dó) e eu não podia pensar em simplesmente jogá-los fora. Quiltei cada bloco com um desenho diferente. Bom finalmente aqui está, prontinho, nem acredito. :o)
a Logcabin star variation - because someone special likes log houses and looking at the stars
a wonky rail fence - because it looks a bit like a autumnal landscape with a river, fields and forest
a starlight tree block - because someone loves going into the wood
and a honey bee variation - well because of honey, what else...
Detail of the join and the edging. I didn't care for the busy popcorn edging in the original pattern so after completing the first huge round of single crochet around the entire edge, I did a simpler edging of alternating dc and sl st. Makes a nice texture and a very neat edge.
I'm putting together a sampler made out of 10 house designs, many trees, and other garden motifs. This is my very small start on this huge project!
My first "real" quilt, made during a fantastic 9-week beginner's class at my LQS. I'm lost selecting fabrics, but I did my very best with workmanship. My fabric plan can be seen in the rail fences: one water-drop batik in each blue, green, and yellow; one freckle in blue, green, and yellow; and one color+white for each. It's a total mess color-wise, but it is durably constructed and *most* of the points are where they're supposed to be. I learned a LOT in this class.

Vogafjos restaurant in Mývatn, northeastern Iceland. We ate all of it except the skyr (Rob had a taste, and I had about half of mine), then caused inadvertent offense when we asked to see the dessert menu: The skyr was the dessert. Another menu item involved skyr served with a fruit compote, so I asked for a little of that to go with the rest of mine. (I like skyr — and this was very good — but, for my taste, that's a lot of skyr to eat plain.)

Sampler
1865
Wool on canvas
The rather morbid sentiment of this sampler was meant as ‘momento mori’, a reminder that we are all mortal.
Wool knitted afghan comprised of 12 sampler squares. A Nikki Epstein design, but modified somewhat by me. I completely changed two of her squares. Barbara Walker's Spider (in notes, above, is one). These are, as seen in the photo above, yet to be blocked, embellished and assembled. I am hoping to be finished with all but the border by this time next week,
