Weekly Update

I did nothing but quilt this week (I only wish that were literally true). I did the 5th row of Batik Cascade (Batik Go-Round) by Karen Combs from start to finish.

Weekly Update

Crochet:

I finished the first panel of the Morning Glory afghan designed by Michele Maks, except for 1 line of cross stitches which, since they're right on the edge, can't be done until the panel is sewn to the next one.




Swedish Weaving:

I did a tiny bit more on the Feathers To and Fro afghan from Learn to Make Monk’s Cloth Afghans by Marilyn T. Magly.


Cross Stitch:

I did quite a bit on Elements of Nature I, which is adapted from the artwork of Jennifer Pugh.

BOTM Heading North - Finished

I've finished Heading North, the June installment of the Block of the Month (BOTM) series by
Deanne Eisnenman of Snuggles Quilts. I hand pieced it. It would have been done much sooner, but I got sick and didn't feel like messing with the iron.

Weekly Update

Quilting:

I'm almost finished with Heading North, the June installment of the Block of the Month (BOTM) series by Deanne Eisnenman of Snuggles Quilts. Just 2 more seams and I'm done.


Blackwork:

I did a little more on the Blackwork Chessboard by Anne MacGregor.


Cross Stitch:

I got bored with Brilliant Butterfly Celebration from The Gold Collection by Dimensions, so I put it away without doing any more work on it.

I started -- and finished stitching -- AmeriKat, a Mini-Kats™ design by Linda Connors of Calico Crossroads®, adapted from the artwork of Kathleen Kelly of Kats by Kelly™. I have the entire series of these: one for each month. I've already stitched February and March and will post them when I get around to finishing them.


Then I started Elements of Nature I, which is adapted from the artwork of Jennifer Pugh. (The package says that it was designed by Ms. Pugh, but she says on her blog that 2 of her "art pieces have been converted into cross stitch". There's no mention of who did the converting.)


 

I didn't do any work on my other projects.

Quilting:

Deanne Eisnenman of Snuggles Quilts has published the June installment of her Block of the Month (BOTM) series, Heading North. I'm a little over halfway done with it already. However, I've come down with a cold and don't feel like getting the iron out, so it may be a while before I finish it.


Blackwork:

I did some more work on the Blackwork Chessboard by Anne MacGregor.

 


I didn't work on anything else this week.

BOTM Weathervane Variation - Finished

I've finished Weathervane Variation, the April installment of the Block of the Month (BOTM) series by Deanne Eisnenman of Snuggles Quilts.  I'm all caught up now. I hand pieced the block.
