WIP Wednesday: February 15

I've found some order and sanity in the midst of all my projects since the last time I joined up with Lee @ Freshly Pieced; managing to finish the The Jack In The Box Quilt, my Stash-Busting Dress, and the baby afghan I was hooking (sorry no pictures yet).

Oh and I made a carpet bag for a theatrical production in the midst of all this as well. I have definitely been a busy bee.

Right now, I'm focusing on one quilting project and one crochet project.

Quilting
Still plugging away at hand-quilting this lap quilt

By my estimation I'm nearing the 80% marker. My goal is to finish it completely by the March meeting of my local Modern Quilt Guild.

Crochet
This I have to admit is a new project that I started on last week. With the baby afghan finished, I needed something small that I could cart around with me and this lap afghan was born.

The Ripple Pattern is from the lovely Lucy over at Attic 24 though I have made some minor design adjustments; and the yarn is this lovely bamboo-blend yarn from Naturally Caron's Joy line. It may very well be my new favourite yarn to work with --only wish they had more colours available.

  2. Yay to order & sanity! Gotta have a little of that in life sometimes. I really love your afghan! So pretty! Your quilt is amazing! I wish I had the patience for hand quilting. I actually tried it once & liked it, maybe I should give it another shot!
