Saturday's Marathon

 This bias scarf cowl has a totally different feel from the silk-
it is very light but still soft and nice against my neck.
 The yarn ( more like size 10 crochet cotton size) has slubs of different colors
 that makes it interesting.
 I whipped off a new infant hat.  The grey yarn is now used up! 
 I tackled the no-sew footstool recovering;
 two dozen staples later and it was finished! 
It's a nice match to the rug and furniture, isn't it!?
Too bad I have to order more to cover the second footstool!
 The four-patch lap quilt went on and off the frame in no time at all!
I used a new pantograph that meanders like water but has large shells as part of the design.
 And I had to push myself a bit to get the backing pieced and this one loaded on the frame but I did it!
I didn't get to start any quilting because I don't know what I am going to do with it yet!
 I began to use this silk for another bias scarf cowl-true to the original shawl, I am working out some different rows of the mesh sections!  I am getting the hang of that and it is a good way to practice!


The pajamas will have to wait for another day!  I ran out of steam!
I remember how I used to fill a day with this kind of work!
