Here's a close-up of the pattern, which is a twist stitch pattern from Norah Gaughan's new twist stitch book. Mindlessly easy and very pleasant to do, and better yet, not hard on the hands.
On the quilting front, here are 4 blocks on my Autumn quilt. Notice that there are lots of oranges in this, too. I must be on a binge.
I love a pattern that has a secondary pattern. Such fun!
Here's the very first block in the next quilt. Yep, it's autumnal. Doesn't everyone make autumnal quilts at the beginning of spring? Why? Because my LQS has the most gorgeous fall color fabrics and I couldn't resist.
Yes, the same block turned around a bit.
A much better set of pictures for the Scrappy Quilt, and a brand new sweater!
And my deliciously warm, woolly sweater. Cascade 220 in a rust.
The bottom pictures shows off the cables better than the other ones (although the color is way too light).
Such excitement! In a couple of weeks, we can actually go into a supermarket and wander slowly through the aisles. Wearing our masks, of course, but that's such a non-issue.
Reaction to the shot? Achy arm, a lot of sweating and such, but now we mostly are lethargic, and that will get better as the day goes on.
A new quilt, appropriately called a Scrappy Quilt, made up of, of course, scraps. I did buy a few low-volume fabrics, but otherwise, all sorts of scraps went into it.
Binding, which you can't see, is a very lovely orange grunge.
And, here's what's coming next: A Jacob's Ladder quilt. These are shots of the layout I'll probably use.
