The members of my quilt groups got an email last night, telling us to stay home and sew, since today was suppose to be a snow day. The snow was not bad as advertised, with most of it passing south of here. However, I did follow directions, and had a sew day. By the end of the day, I had this.
My Polaris quilt top is finished. I was pleased with how well it went together. It still needs a backing and some quilting, as well as a binding. That will come. I have to finish it, so I can try the blueberry chocolate bar that came with the the quilt kit.
I finished another hat.
This is the Martine Hat, a free pattern on Ravelry. The yarn is Knit Picks Stroll Tonal which has been languishing in my stash for several years.
I have gone back to working on a scarf I started about 6 months ago. I am down to 3 knitting WIPs. I am working hard to finish those before I accidentally cast on something else.
I had helpers this afternoon, while I was trying to take pictures.
After a very cold weekend, the basement is the warmest place to hang out. It is suppose to warm up and snow some more. I'm tired of boots and mitts, and scarves, already and there is still at least two more months of winter. Sigh...At least I have warm hobbies.
Your helpers are doing a great job. Love your Polaris quilt!
ReplyDeleteWe're just coming out of a cold snap, so I can go for afternoon walks, and driving is pretty safe...but I too still prefer to stay home and sew or knit or...all the things! My "helpers" are restless for the spring to come and the young ones get the "zoomies", which can be challenging when one is trying to sew/knit/all the things! Did you like the hat pattern? I made one in a lighter, airyer yarn for a friend going through chemo. Might have to make another for my Warm Things box!
ReplyDeleteLove your Polaris! And your helpers!
ReplyDeleteCute helpers. I love your Polaris, just gorgeous. xx
ReplyDeleteIt has been cold and so much snow. Your helpers are purffect! Love the quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou've sewn a lovely little top with the star and geese. I like it.
ReplyDeleteEven though we still have snow here, I'm already thinking about snowflakes, I think by the end of the month... and we need some sunshine... it's completely overcast at the moment.
Best wishes, have fun with your needles and thread!
