Puttering



See, proof that I do still knit! This is a pair of slippers from some handspun. The pattern is from the 2007 Knit a Day calendar (Feb 2). I knit and sewed them up with the last 4" of yarn-too close. I left the pom-pom off cuz that is the kind of person I am........

My parents left for NY today, going back now that their winter is drawing to a close. It is the latest that they have ever stayed and we savored every minute of it. I will miss them.


This is what I am currently working on in the sewing room-


it is a queen sized batik quilt. I am machne quilting it on my Inspira frame. It is going good but not as quickly as the small wall hangings--duh! I gave myself the speach I give my daughter when the kids slow down when on a walk-"the journey is more important than the destination"-it is good advice for all of us. I put an audio book on my Zen and it was very relaxing-I am improving with every row! (There are 10 rows and it requires 2 passes for each row) Yes, those are palm trees I am quilting it with-it is still a wonder to be here and so I am not tired of them yet-dont think I ever will be, frankly!

House is cleaned and ready for company-hope some drop by tomorrow..................

  2. Haha, thanks for the suggestion, Jessica, but I think we'll save her the postage and she can just drop them off with you next time she visits. :-)

    The quilting pattern is perfect for that quilt, Mom!!! Can't wait to see it in all its glory.
