It seems the winter weather has finally found us. I stayed in today and worked on a few projects while sitting on the couch. Due to the cold temperatures moving in, I started a knitting project. I couldn't resist this yarn. I bought it the Mancuso Quilt show this past summer. It's a fingering weight yarn whose color is jewel box. Isn't is so pretty?? I'm going to make a shawl. I could have made socks but I want this gorgeous yarn to be seen!
I'm also doing a little applique for Green Tea and Sweet Beans. I have all my stems ready. I use freezer paper to prepare my applique pieces. The leaves are all ready also but I have yet to choose the flower fabrics. I'll work on the greens first.
I also worked on a little free motion quilting but didn't get very far. I think I really just wanted to sit on the couch and rest. My husband has a cold so we're sitting here enjoying our afternoon.
Hope you had a nice weekend! Can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving! Time is flying!
That yarn is so pretty, and my favorite colors...Jewel tones!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em! I thought of you when I saw the color!
Deletethat yarn is gorgeous. it is funny how when the weather turns colder we hunker down with a hand project. and dont you know it once Thanksgiving is here, Christmas will not be far behind at all. Have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI think hand projects must be comforting in the cool weather! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
