Great gifts, Jampss. So ahead of the game, too.

Greetings! Lana ~ I love making the hearts. It's very nice when you have one reported on the site. Warms the heart, so you know even those that aren't reported bring a smile to the finder. I made some great crafting progress last week, finishing a quilt with coordinating coasters, knit socks...

I think I had a dream about someone helping me purge my studio. It's scary! I've been making quilted hearts for the IFAQH project, so I save small scraps of fabric to piece together for hearts. I don't think it's helping much, because I'm saving smaller fabric scraps than usual. I finished a...

Greetings! I did finish the quilt and socks. The placemats are pretty much done, but I may decide to tack down some of the trim strips that the pattern says to leave loose. I've also started a table topper with fabric from the placemats for the center of our dining table. I did have to buy just...

Greetings! I love grilled cheese! Using different cheeses makes them a little more interesting, but good no matter what! I was a little lazy with the meal planning the last few weeks, but managed a plan for this week. It's flexing though. I went out to lunch today with a friend, so DH will...

Hello all! I just need to tie in the yarn ends on the socks, so those will get done PDQ. On the teal pinwheel quilt, I have all the rows joined and need to quilt the last joining strip. Then it's ready to put the binding on. It should get finished today or tomorrow if all goes well. I think it...

Greetings! Lana ~ I hope everything is okay with you and yours. I was missing the new week's thread, so thought I'd go ahead and start it up. It's wonderful to see the pictures of this crafty group's creations! Such lovely work. Come share your goals and achievements with us all this week.

Greetings! The socks I'm knitting are about 1" away from being done. I bought another skein of the yarn thinking I would need it, but I may not. I'll search around for the receipt so that I can return the yarn. The pinwheel quilt is coming along pretty well. I've got two rows joined together. I...

Greetings! Rose ~ Fabulous socks! The ones I'm knitting for DSonIL are quite plain. He'll probably like them that way. I thought I was buying yarn (online) that was a self-patterning yarn, but it's not. I did a little work on the watercolor placemats yesterday, mostly to get them out of the...

Just finished The River by Peter Heller and started The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese.

Greetings! I need to finish two birthday cards early in the week, one today. I will continue knitting on the socks now and then, but I do most of my knitting in the car. Don't know if I'll have much chance for that this week. I'm hoping to go to Open Sew tomorrow, but I'm not sure if Kathy...

I'm a road-trip knitter. I've never had a problem with motion sickness. In fact, we were on a ferry once, and they warned us about rough water. I was disappointed that it actually wasn't.

Greetings! We're going on a short trip to open at the lake, so I'll take along my knitting, cross stitch and some sewing in case I can get to it. Otherwise, I hope to get a table topper (machine embroidery) made for DD#2 and perhaps work on one or more of my WIP quilts when we are home. I'm...

Nice work ladies! I have a sewing group meeting this morning near Joanns. I plan to shop there and try to keep them in business. LOL I need coordinating fabric for several projects.

Greetings! I have three different quilts that I'd like to make progress on this week. I also need to get a birthday card made and gift packaged and mailed. I think I have a gift made but should double check on that. Throw in a little sock knitting and some cross stitch, and I should be able to...

I heard that Joann's supply issues were caused by their failure to pay the suppliers who then, of course, stop supplying. Made a couple more zip pouches today. I'm still trying to perfect a technique.
