Potholder, Blackwork Chessboard, Orphans & Scraps, Bright Feathers, Old Mill Pond, Baby Babbles, Hand Towel, Serenity, Plum Granny Ripple

Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts has started a new challenge to help motivate herself and others to do a little bit of stitching every day. Since that's one of the reasons that I maintain a blog, I plan to support her by including the #ScrapsofTimeScrapsofFabric hashtag in my blog posts and tweets. That said, here's what I got done over the last 2 weeks.

Finishing:

I did some more in-the-ditch quilting on the Blackwork Chessboard by Anne MacGregor.



Quilting:

I started the 5th block of Old Mill Pond by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts.



I did some more work on the binding strip of my potholder.



I also did some more quilting on Orphans & Scraps, a sew-along by Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts (blocks by Pam; setting by me).




Cross Stitch:

I did some more stitching on Serenity by Joan Elliott.



I also did some more work on my Bright Feathers design.



Swedish Weaving:

I did some more stitching on the towel based on Baby Babbles from Learn to Make Monk’s Cloth Afghans by Marilyn T. Magly.



Knitting:

I started another hand towel, this time in seed stitch. It's lying a lot flatter than the garter stitch and stockinette version, so I shouldn't have to block it.



Crochet:

Finally, I did some more crocheting on the ripples on Plum Granny Ripple by Janie Herrin.
