I have been working away at getting the Log Canada quilt ready to send to Houston. The label was sewn on yesterday - computer generated with the information printed neatly on treated fabric.
The hanging sleeve also had to get switched out as mine was 1/4" narrower than the show specifications.
Last night I finished up a pair of socks (for me) which have been on the go since Christmas. Admittedly, I am neither a fast nor a particularly good knitter but I certainly do enjoy both making and wearing fine wool socks. This colour I've had on hand for a couple of years; it's called "Retro Red". No doubt you can tell that my favourite colour combination is red and white. The socks are photographed on a basket whose lid was featured in a column on Seminole patchwork several years back in Quick & Easy Quilting. It makes a great knitting basket.
I love your "Log Canada" quilt. Is it an original pattern? Will it be available? Is it available? I'd love to make a small one for one of my walls.
ReplyDeleteHi, Peggi: Thanks! Yes, the quilt is an original and the pattern for it is in the book Canadian Heritage Quilting.

ReplyDeleteOh, Canada. I feel like singing the anthem. The quilt looks so nice. I must look up that book Karen. Nice job on the socks too. Sounds like after this new March 1st snowstorm, you'll need them.
