I finished quilting the second QAL and laid it to the side while I loaded the next top on the frame, when I went to trim it and apply the binding--someone had made themselves at home!
Instead I added the borders onto the last of the pile of tops I had lined up. Lena was still asleep on the quilt so I began to work at the frame instead.
I am working on the top of all of those 4 1/2" squares
my Mom gave me.
Last time I ordered a pantograph from Willow Leaf Studio
they included a free one -
which is not one I would've chosen but after giving it a try--
I really like it!
It gives a clean line to the quilt;
very different than my usual choices and nice to try it out!
The saga of the three pairs of Christmas socks is complete!
Made of Cascade Yarns in Heritage Prints sock yarn color no. 60.
Lg pair over 64 sts, 8yo socks knit over 56 sts
and the 5yo socks over 48 sts
All were knit on number 2.5mm needles, toe-up with a gusset heel.
I love that quilting pattern — a perfect blend of curvy and simple against those squares!
ReplyDeleteOh Lena!

Of course Lena made heself at home on top of HER quilt. Love the socks too - great Christmas present for the "girls."
ReplyDeleteLove the socks! I hope they take a photo of the bottoms of their feet in a line. I like the new quilting design - a lot!

ReplyDeleteI love seeing a cat curled up on something comfy.
ReplyDeleteKitties always find the softest spots. She looks so comfy and happy. Perfect socks they will make some feet very happy.
