3 of 4

 The landscape, although having been worked on, doesn't look much different than it did on Monday...so...how about I show you a boring pair of socks that just exited off my needles instead?  My usual generic pattern and Paton's Kroy sock yarn.  

- THIS is a cute little bag that would be useful.

- If you have some fat quarters in your stash perhaps one of THESE ideas would come in handy. And there are lots more ideas HERE.

- THESE are really fun!

Today's quote...

Another start

 Some of you might remember my having had a pre-cancerous growth removed from my tongue (would you believe it's been five years?!).  I have been in a study group since then and have twice-yearly check-ins with the oral surgeon.  I learned he will be retiring in December and I really wanted to do something nice for him.  I know he and his wife have a cottage so I thought a landscape that looks like the Canadian north might be something they would like.  So....here is the beginning of it...

- THIS is interesting!!

- and THIS looks like a fun project.

- THIS takes you to a short video showing a fun technique which would be a wonderful gift.

- THIS caught my eye and I thought it would make a lovely curtain.

- Have a peek through the gallery of THIS amazing artist.

Today's quote is from Martin Luther King, Jr...."We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice.  Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity"

Another addition

 For a change of pace while I contemplate the next landscape, I made this...

She will be heading for the Christmas box for our little granddaughter.  She'll be just about four then and the perfect age for a dolly that comes with a couple changes of clothes...a nightie, and a pair of jeans with a top.  The doll pattern is one I have cobbled together from several different ones.

- THIS looks like it would be a fun thing to try.

- Have  a peek at the gallery of THIS artist!  And THIS one as well.

- The raw materials for THIS are certainly readily available.

- HERE is another technique to try.

Today's quote is from Adam Smith..."Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent"

The reveal

 Some of you might remember my having shown you a pile of fabrics a week or so ago (you are forgiven if you don't).  The pile of two different fabrics has now been turned into six sets of aprons and hot pads - all destined for the Christmas box.

- I've noticed a definite resurgence of granny squares and thought I'd share THIS great pillow design.  If the pictures don't show when you go there, just click on the small thumbnails and they will embiggen for you.  And, while you're there, click on her 'Free Patterns' and explore the other wonderful designs she has on offer.

- HERE is a fun little project.

- And so is THIS.

- Of course THIS caught my eye.

- THIS looks like a pretty easy thing to create and I think it would look good with brown bags too.

Today's quote is from Confucius..."An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes"

Final pics from the quilt show

 Here are the remaining pictures from the quilt show.  Hope you've enjoyed the 'show'!

This one caught my eye because it's a bag made of 

selvages! 

And finally - this is the quilt that won 'Best of Show'....

And this picture shows the lucky winner...

- Some of you might want to play along with THIS.

- If you're a cross stitcher, perhaps you will find THIS article of interest.

- THIS is something that you might like to make.

- THIS might be a fun project to play around with.  And of course you know that THIS caught my eye!

- I found THIS article to be quite fascinating!  It would be great fun to see some of her work in person.

Today's quote..."Knowledge is knowing what to say.  Wisdom is knowing whether or not to say it"

Quilt Show - part three

 I hope you're enjoying the virtual quilt show.  I had a hard time choosing which quilts to show you because there were so many wonderful ones.  Here are a few more that caught my eye...

Sorry, but for some reason my computer is flatly refusing to change the orientation of this one...

It's hard to see from the photo but this quilt was made up of 
pieces of little girls dresses - 

- Have a look through THIS article to see some pretty incredible embroideries.

- You might have a use for one of THESE.

- Or how about one of THESE?

Today's quote...

Quilt Show - part two

Here are a few more that caught my eye from the quilt show...

This one was stitched with metallic threads and had lots of crystals too.  Hard to get a decent photo that shows the sparkle.

This one (below) was done with felted wool...lots of fun details!

- Perhaps you'd like to make one of THESE to wear in the summer sun.

- THIS is an awww-worthy thing!

- THESE are rather cute.

- I think I showed you one of these before, but HERE are good instructions to make your own.

Today's quote..."I hate when people say "You don't owe anyone anything."  Actually no, I think as a bare minimum, we owe each other basic human kindness and respect"
