I had so much fun crocheting the dishcloths that I went into our local yarn store and bought some fancy wool yarn and made a simple hat. It amazed me that I could do it and it was great fun. It is has turned cold yet again around here and I've actually been wearing it when I walk the dogs.
Last Saturday, I had invited some friends here to sew. We all worked on projects that we had allow to 'languish'. I started working on a tshirt quilt and actually spent the day cutting and fusing. If these fun ladies weren't here with me...I wouldn't have actually got it started. But with company and some good treats (Rana makes really good salsa!), we made progress. Melanie worked on some beautiful floral diamonds and Rana paper pieced blocks on one of those cool machines that has a thread cutter. Amazing!
I finished another hand pieced block. These blocks are 6 inch blocks. This one is for Psalm 23 and is called Table for four. Ps 23:5 "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies". Or as in The Bible in Today's English Version reads..."You prepare a banquet for me, where all my enemies can see me; you welcome me as an honored guest and fill my cup to the brim." I chose the green and the blue actually for other verses. Vs 2 "He lets me rest in fields of green grass and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water". This is really a favorite Psalm of mine. If ever I picture God, I can't help but think of The Good Shepherd.

That is one cute hat Loris. I definitely want to make one too! And thank goodness that picture of me is not horrible!!! See you on Monday night, and don't forget this time.....it would be bad to develop a "reputation" so quickly. LOL
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a fun and productive sewing day with friends! Love the hat too!
ReplyDeleteVery cute hat, love the colors. I love having friends over to quilt, you are right it is so much nicer/easier/all-round-better to get the things that feel like chores done when friends are there.
