Finishes

The top from Judy's last scrap quilt is complete. I did not have enough fabric to do the pieced border in different colors so I used what I did have. The pink in the pieced border is different from the last pink border. There is not enough material left from any of the fabric to use as a the binding except for one aqua that really does not look great so I am using half of each on the pink and alternating them.



I did get enough of the backing from Thousands of Bolts. It is cut and sewn together. Now it is ready to be mailed for quilting.


I finished the socks I was making. I picked up the yarn a couple of weeks ago because it was half price. How good it feels to use right away. Now to make socks from the yarn I have on hand.



I began this shawl last year. It is a free pattern from The Wooly West. A very easy shawl to make. The yarn is the real stuff........Fresh off the sheep. Not pleasant to work with but will really keep you warm. The lace edging is knit onto the shawl. I made a smaller edition of this shawl from blue yarn some time ago and used this brown as the lace edging.
