Stash report week 26

Our youngest daughter announced that she and her husband are expecting a Baby Boy!!!  So like any Mimi to be I began planning a quilt and some of the wonderful self binding baby blankets.  I haven't done any respectable fabric shopping this year.  But I made up for it yesterday!!

Camp Loopy 2014 Project 1

Finished my first Camp Loopy project just in time. 

It is "resting"  on my blocking mat.  This was my first attempt at a provisional cast on.  I definitely need more practice especially with the grafting.

On the Needles Friday

I made some progress on my Camp Loopy Cowl.    I think the brown shows up well in this picture.  The other pictures looked more grey.

And I have already started dreaming about project #2 which will start July 1.  One of my daughters has requested a baby blanket.  She selected Madelinetosh Tosh DK in Chicory.  It is different but I like it.

I am going to pop over to Judy's and get some inspiration.

On the Needles Friday-- af ew days later

Well another week seems to have gotten away from me!!  I know I am busy but I can't always show anything.  I have made a little progress on my Camp Loopy #1 project.  I have had to do a bit of "frogging"  The pattern isn't difficult.  I am just too distracted.

I have ordered the yarn for project #2.  It is going to be a baby blanket.  More details will be coming.

On the Needles Friday

This is  my Campy Loopy Project.  I casted on with a provisional cast on--something I have never done before.  The coral yarn will be removed when I am ready to graft the edges together to make an infinity scarf.  The pattern is Pinctada and the yarn is Madelinetosh Pashmina.  The color is twig.  The picture seems more gray than brown.  (I must work on my photography skills.)

Wolf #2

I finished the second corner of my wolf fleece blanket.  I think my grandson is going to love this!!!

One of my main goals for this year is to master my embroidery machine and as many technics as I can.  What kinds of machine embroidery do you like to do?

Embroidered Wolves

My grandson loves wolves.  I found an Anita Goodesign embroidery that would be perfect for a fleece blanket.  I am going to embroider a different design in the four corners and a large design in the center.  This is a picture of the first embroidery. 

Although I never imagined that I would do anything with wolves,  I think this project will turn out better than I imagined.

May's Block for Tell it to the Stars

I am working on Judy L's mystery quilt--Tell it to the Stars.  Here are the blocks I made for May.  Visit Patchwork Times to what other quilters are working on.
