Antique Quilt Pincushions.....

I think of all the quilt patterns

that I have seen over the years 

Whig Rose is my favorite, 

I should say applique quilts.......

This pattern took me almost 5 hours

yesterday getting it drawn down

to a 7 inch square 

& 

have the flowers easy

to cut out and look pretty.

Tomorrow I will start the embroidery

on it and hopefully have it

done by the end of the week.

In the evenings and some very cold

days I have been working on an

old project.

 

January is my month to finish

some project that has been folded

and stored away for awhile.

I'm sure none of you dear ladies

have projects that are resting in some

dark, cold container........

I started this afgan when I worked at 

the university in Oklahoma. 

We had a wonderful yarn shop in 

town and I can't seem to avoid beautiful

yarns, threads, fabric, linen

so I got myself into a big project.

But good news as soon as I can buy

4 more skeins of yarn this lovely piece

will be done this year!

The hardest part is having to crochet around

the edge of the 12 inch knitted square

&

have them all turn out to the same size.....

    I think I have figured out a way 

to make it go a little faster 

& the sewing will be a breeze..............

Hmmmmmmmmm

I hope you all have a wonderful week,

we are in the 40's now and have 

seen the sun for the first time in a very 

long time - makes a person smile!

P.S. I hope you all had a wonderful

Valentine's Day - I got a package of yummy

cookies, I do love cookies.........
