Long Overdue Update

It is hard to believe that I have not updated this blog in nine months .   I am flattered that I have so many followers and that I get emails on my work.  Thank you!!

Of course, I have been crafting.  There really has never been a time when I have not had a craft project to work on.  During this year I have cross stitched, knitted, crocheted and quilted.  I am currently teaching myself to free motion quilt.  That is machine quilting on my home sewing machine.  It is a very difficult skill to master.  I am making significant progress.  I thought this would be a good skill to have under my belt for baby quilts and lap quilts from all the reproduction fabrics I love.

Here is an afghan I crocheted in the early summer of 2011.  It is called Tuscan Throw and the designer is Treva McCain.  I used Hobby Lobby yarn in an off white.  Hobby Lobby is my local craft store.  This is a soft, sturdy and inexpensive yarn.  I really enjoyed this project.  It looks very old fashioned and lacy.  I think it would be a great wedding gift.

I will show you my free motion progress and the adorable cross stitch sampler I am working on very soon..
