Crossroads Quilt Along

Finished today this top

it is called Crossroads. 
I bought the fabric from Fat Quater Shop
the pattern was free on their website and
 they gave you a chance to donate 
to "March of Dimes" 
A fighting chance for every baby.
"March of Dimes" are an amazing organization whose 
mission is to prevent premature births.
Today, one in ten babies are born prematurely, and many will not survive.
It is always nice if one can help.


Starting something new

one month later 

Knitted shawl called "Exploration Station by Stephen West.
Learned some new techniques, it was fun to knit. 
The yarn was hand dyed Skinny Singles from Ireland
So soft.

You all have a blessed day
and Happy quilting.

Needlework, knitting, quilting


This cute little needlework was designed by Sue Hawkins.
I bought the kit in France and finished it up yesterday.
It was fun to do.
 I like needlework and Sue's design is very special.

I also finished this knitted shawl.
It is from a class I participated at Craftsy.
The instructor Laura Nelkin is very good.

Have you done any class at Craftsy? 
At the moment I'm doing Shuttle Tatting with Marlee Rockley,
in the beginning I was really struggling, 
but I'm getting there, and really enjoying Tatting.
I will post pictures later, as I'm still practising.


I was going to hand quilt this top.
 After Dorothy sent me pictures of how she quilted hers S.N. I decided to use my machine. 
Some stitch ditch, some straight lines and some free motion quilting 
all with Aurifil Mako'NE 50/2.

ENJOY whatever you are doing and don't forget to breath deeply.
