Ah the basketweave! I love this knit pattern so much. A great texture and look without being too complicated
Here's a hand-knit headband I just finished with the entrelac pattern and a twist added at the front. This is for sale! Contact me if you are interested
Started work on this tiny quilt! 1" squares and lots of hand sewing ahead. I'm currently at a contra dance weekend in Saratoga Springs, NY (Flurry!) and using my down time to sew sew sew and get more quilts with circles into my life
And now all squared up!
I finally got a bed frame so bedskirt was the obvious next step! Made this and a second one for my dad today. My rug was made by my good friend Isobel
Colin helped me document this quilt in the snow a second time because I added a border after I finished it once. Yes, I took the binding off and undid some quilting in order to do that. But at least it fits my bed better! #thankscolin
This project developed when I had an idea to embed a sphere in a quilt and wanted to see if I could do it -- the outcome being a representation of the lunar cycle made with a muslin background on one side and hand-dyed indigo background on the other
Below are some shots from the process of making:
Thank you Union Brewing for having the perfect sized glass for tracing circles!
Have you ever started a project without planning the whole thing out? Sometimes you just want to get started on the making part and stop thinking too much about it. Well I've done that with this project and I don't know that it's making it any easier for me...
5 little topographical studies made with muslin and batting and now I am coming up with a plan for them to be a cohesive piece. Here we go!
Last night I finished my CCBC Beginning Quilting class. I love teaching this class! The students started with no quilting knowledge and walk away having learned a handful of classic quilt squares as well as a hot pad, sewn completely by hand. For the last class we went to the Baltimore Heritage Quilt Guild meeting. It just so happened that it was their holiday party! Everyone there was so welcoming and kind -- we were greeted with a welcome sign, given small gifts and invited to participate in their annual bingo game. I won a round of bingo and met a woman who recognized me from my Open Studios at the International Quilt Festival

Craft Fair season is here! I'm making my usual reusable sandwich wraps and snack packs, which you can find on my Etsy here. I started making the sandwich wraps and snack packs because I made them for myself and loved them so much, I had to make them available to everyone. I have almost eliminated plastic bags from my kitchen and it is so liberating! They are made from fabric remnants, usually linen, cotton, or silk and lined with vinyl. The sandwich wraps folds around a sandwich and can accommodate just about any size sandwich you can concoct. I've even carried pizza in mine! The snack packs come in 2 sizes so that you can bring trail mix, candy, cookies, chips, pretzels, baby carrots, or any snack you can think of
I will also have a few odds and ends -- a few other home and hand-knit items. I'm working on a second hand-knit entrelac headband at the moment and have tote bags, aprons, and some dish cloths ready for market
