With Family Camp and painting going on this week, I didn't get much sewing done. This is the Farmer's Wife Quilt block 25: Cups and Saucers. I'm glad it was a simple 9-patch and easy to analyze.
Here's block 26: Cut Glass Dish. Another 9-patch grid. I had fun choosing "sparkly" fabrics for this one. I think it really does give the look of cut glass.
I'm working on
block 2 of the STARS quilt-along. I'm planning on doing 4 of each block and winding up with a twin-size quilt. I haven't repeated a print yet, and it's all from my stash.
No real progress on the Japanese Lanterns machine quilting. I have 3 other quilt tops waiting for quilting, too.
My current knitting project:
Stashbuster Spirals socks for Primigenitus. I'm loving how the different bits and bobs of leftover sock yarn combine. There are three primary yarns: a slow-changing variegated yarn from my Leyburns, the blue variegated one leftover from Steve's most recent pair, and the self-striping yarn leftovers from socks I made for myself on our UK bus tour back in 2005. Should be finished soon, and I'll start another pair because I have lots more leftovers to use up. The next pair will probably be in shades of green.
