AND THERE IS YARN

I have been 'busy' plying the spun singles 

and wound them off the bobbin.

And now I have 225 yards of DK yarn from Blue Faced Leicester wool;  very soft and prettily colored.  No, I have no idea what I am going to knit from it yet but hope to find something to spark my interest soon!

Here is a bonus photo--A deliciously aromatic rose that was from Bill's Mom's house, she planted down here in 1979 and in 2019, Bill planted near the pond out back where it has more moisture.  It is thriving despite some loving attention from the deer and a few floods!  

 

A FINISHED OBJECT!

The tulip runner is completely completed! 

 That feels good, let me tell you!  

I might take long to make a 'quick' project 

but at least I am beginning to' make' again!

Today, I am meeting my friend, Mary, for a quilt show

 at our local quilt shop!  

 

A STEP BACK

We finally had the burial service for my grandson, Ethan.  It would've been so much more respectful to do this right after his death, instead it was like ripping off the scab to our heart's wound. 

The other day, I did finish the quilting for the tulips table runner

and today I will trim and bind it!

 

TWO THINGS-NO FOOLING!

In the morning yesterday, I drew the cross hatching with an erasable pen on the table runner and then had fun using the faux hand stitching on my domestic sewing machine to do the quilting! 

 I couldn't do all of the stitching

 but I'm ready to do some more today!

And in the afternoon, I spun 2 ounces of the wool! 

 It was so relaxing the spin again!
