Outside

Sat outside today with Daisy while the cleaners were here, about 60 degrees, it is sunnier than it looks.

Sarah's blanket and the rag quilt

Sarah's knitted blanket, knitting is done. Now I have to add the fringe. 230 rows of 200 stitches. Ugh, that's a lot of knitting!!

.
The rag quilt-I still need to wash and dry it. May take it to a laundrymat here or wait until I get home.

Went to church this AM.  Christ the Lord Lutheran Church in Carefree. Beautiful music. Very nice service.

LWR Quilt work plus so much more

1 of 6 for the winter. Also working on a flannel rag quilt. In December I went through all the scraps and stash fabrics i've had sitting around for ages and put together about 10 kits (UGH), one of which is the flannel rag quilt.  I also made 2 Yellow Brick Road quilts out of the tons of black and white fabric I had been accumulating for at least 10 yrs and gave them to Chloe and Paige Bleck (see their pictures below) Brennan Bleck received the Northwoods Line by Line sampler that part of our group
worked on last fall.
