Crafter's Challenge January 8th--January 14th, 2023

[Lana]

First week down of 2023!

I did purchase some flannel tonight to make (try) Teigan a flannel night gown. Maybe for her birthday and maybe just because. She picked baby Yoda! I swear. She was saying a pretty blue and found some tealish color but......Might try to add a ruffle on edge as the pattern is just straight edge. I always love a ruffle on granny gowns! Will have to decide how much to cut for it and figure in gathering.....?!?!?

Interesting things being worked on by you gals.

Happy Crafting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am untangling a very messed up ball of yarn

Missouri Star Quilt has books on sale----I saw this a.m.. May have to check it out.

Family has departed. It's bitter-sweet. The sweet part is that I can get back to my crafting. I did manage to finish knitting an afghan while they were here and did some crafting with grandchildren. Lana, I envy you being so close to Teigan!

So it's time to decide which CCS project to get out to work on. My Valentines this year will be machine embroidery so I should have time to work on a CCS project for myself. Since I like to have a Rudy January, I'll probably get out the motifs for my Christmas door picture frame.

Also for Rudy January I want to get a start on my 2023 Christmas cards. I have an idea for them.

I need to start a new prayer shawl, too.

And I have two fall wall hangings that I'd like to get back to.

All while trying to deconstruct Christmas decor, run errands, clean up from having company here, skiing on Wednesday (I hope), attending a sewing group meeting, and going to a Celebration of Life...

I saw that and after pondering deleted it. Trying not to buy anything. I guess if I was using a pattern for a gift?????
I finished all the quilt blocks to day. Figured out how to lay it out now to decide what I’m doing for borders. I saw a quilt patttern in a email that would be perfect for a scrappy back. I took a screen shot so will have to do some figuring for block sizes.

Beautiful doily!
Dahlia, I want to get started on my cards too. I have everything here for CIJ ornaments to do also.

Jampss. that doily is gorgeous, you got that done quickly.

I worked on a part of my costume for DD birthday. Just a sash with the words Miss Chief in adhesive rhinestone letters. I am going as a "beauty queen"

Martingale publishing is going out of business. All of their books are 55% off. Quilting, knitting, crafting, etc, etc. I looked a little and decided to be good.

I ordered the Vintage Farm from MSQ for like 16.95. I have always looked at them. Now to find Vintage Farm 2 that cheap.

 

[sweetpumkinpye]

I hemmed the sun room curtains at the farm. Not exactly a craft but I did use my sewing machine.

Got the costumes done and tiding up of the sewing/crafting room. Knitting project is almost done.
