I Like Thursday #94


It's so warm out there! The snow is melting and I can actually see my lawn. Massachusetts is having a warm Spring day! Welcome to I Like Thursday where we try to post positive and uplifting topics. Please visit LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color to read more fun posts. 

I got a great deal on this fabric. I plan on using it for the backing of my Scrap Pineapple quilt. Since the quilt measures 90 X 90, I had to buy 8.5 yards of fabric. I found the deal at Hancock's of Paducah. They had the best price. 


I just started my newest Brioche knitting project. It's the Frozen Forest Shawl written by The Happy Knitter. It's difficult so I inserted a lifeline yesterday. It's just a line of yarn to hold my stitches so I don't have to start over again. My kids bought the yarn for me as a Christmas gift. 


I just finished this book and highly recommend it! I loved it from the minute I started it. I devoured it in 5 days! I think you'll like it too!

That's my week! I hope the weather stays nice but I have a feeling it's too early for real Spring weather. Have a wonderful weekend!!

    1. I did get some fresh air yesterday. It wasn't too bad today either. Keep Hancock's in mind when you need a lot of fabric. They have the best prices!
