Design Wall Monday - 12/22/14
DESIGN WALL MONDAY -
Check out all of us who link up with Judy L. -
At Patchwork Times on Mondays.
We have some awesome stuff on our walls!
Well, THEY do - ME - not so much sometimes - ;))
===
This is on my wall today - ;))
I made it a while ago -
And had it fuse-basted to a batt and backing -
And in the stack to be quilted -
When I realized that the letters had been FUSED on -
But hadn't been SEWN down -
So guess what's on the menu for this coming week??? -
Besides waiting for Santa, of course - ;))
===
This past week I finished up this one -
And only used half of the ball of yarn -
So I decided to make another one just like it -
Only it came out a bit longer -
Because I had a bit MORE than half a ball left -
And I just kept going until I ran out of yarn - ;))
Then I made a rust-colored one -
And a fuzzy one with "Fun-Fur" and a purple 4-ply worsted weight -
And then another fuzzy one with "Fun-Fur" and a turquoise 4-ply worsted weight -
"Simply Soft" - and it REALLY IS SOFT!! - ;))
And then I made a variegated brown one -
And then a plain Royal Blue one - ;))
I have a couple more to make -
But they go SO fast -
That I should be able to get them done -
Before Christmas - ;))
===
By the way -
Today is ALSO TUSAL - New Moon -
But I've written up that post -
To "go live" tomorrow - ;))
Come back tomorrow to see what I did with this year's ORTS - ;))
I KNOW that it's supposed to be -
A TOTALLY USEESS STITCH-A-LONG -
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do -
Because it seems like such a waste -
To just put them in a baggie -
For SOMEDAY - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
Would I be right in thinking that the scarf yarn for the first finished one shown is LionBrand Homespun?
ReplyDeleteVERY GOOD, Gene!! - ;))
DeleteThe answer is "YES - BUT" - ;)) YES - it's LionBrand Homespun - BUT - it's the "Thick & Quick" version - 8 oz. - 160 yd. ball - as opposed to the "Regular" version - 6 oz. - 185 yd. ball - ;))
The "rust-colored" one is the "Regular" version - and it works up nice and lacey. The "Thick & Quick" version is VERY "Thick" and fluffy and fun to work with - and VERY "Quick"!! - ;))
Love your "word tree" - hope the stitching down goes well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer - the stitching will probably take me FOREVER - but it should be FUN - ;))
