Amongst all the things that have been going on lately with the horses, I have managed to get some work done on the French quilt, some much awaited peiced star blocks. A week up at Port allowed me to sit quietly and draft up a block, then cut out and hand stitch it together, even taking piccies along the way.
The French quilt is on its way, almost all of the stitchery has been completed, the pieced blocks drafted up and some done. And the concept for the applique well sorted.
It is going to be a really nice quilt to make I am hoping others will agree and take the class.
Knitting has been progressing as well, tunic 2 completed and fits Charlotte beautifully, she now wants it to remain cream, so no dying reguired. I will stitch a ribbon around the inside of the neckline and this should help to maintain the shape. Then I can wash it and the Grafton really blooms upon washing. I have begun tunic no 3 for Karleigh and this is in medium and will be dyed to her specifications upon completion.
At work we have been busy dying a lovely new yarn from New Zealand, it is Kakadu this yarn is to date my favourite. It is just glorious, it dyes beautifully and I am about to knit a one off design I have created called Kakadu Capelet, it is in a bold orange, pink, dye blend and is totally amazing keep watch here to see this design evolve, if it is a success it will be offered on Ravelry thru Yarn Workshop.
I am in the process of completing a few quilt tops I have to do and I will be offering my quilt frame and Janome 6600 as a unit for sale on Ebay this is to free up some money so I can purchase a little filly that I would like to bring on and show.
In the meantime I have no lack of items to be done, I resist writing a list of to do's as I am to
frightened that it will be overwhelming.
