Sorting.......

 The Lion Brand Suede scarf is off the loom........it is so squishy and soft!  66" x 4" with twisted fringe.

 And a new scarf is on the rigid heddle loom; this time I used some hand spun bamboo and soy silk  in the warp with a commercial weft of Silk Bamboo by Patons.

 I started out looking for something and couldn't find it but it sparked a big time clean out of lots of boxes of my craft/fabric that were in this, we aptly call the PG for the portable garage.  We put this up when we moved here 4 years ago because we had way too much stuff after moving from the big farm house with garage, barn, and storage shed!  I think we had just had an overload on the decision making trying to get rid of all of our belongings in an auction and moving.  It was a bit of a blur, too!  But anyway, I tackle a box a week usually but today I did some big time weeding out.

 I threw out and organized 14 boxes and took care of all the stuff I did decide to bring into the house! 

 For example, this box of corduroy was sorted and then cut into 6 1/2" squares so it can be a quilt instead of a big pile of fabric!

 Now it is going to be pieced up and put to good use instead of sitting in the box another year!

 I loaded up the men's suit samples top and began the quilting.  I am not using any batting, instead I have backed it with a large piece of polar fleece Marsel had given me during her big clean out a few months ago.

This is kind of quilting heavy but the pattern flows right along and looks kind of whimsical for this rather  unorthodox quilt!  I am ready for a good evening with my knitting-

I have loaded the last skein of yarn with all the beads for the final edging design for the Seasons of Life shawl.  This has worked up pretty quickly and I will be anxious to get it blocked out to see what I have-as it is all squished on the needles (I should have used a longer cable with the circulars but I didn't for some reason!)  Hope I finish it tonight.......
