Have been making strips from fabrics I ordered from

 Patsy Thompson long time ago.

When I got this "Friendship Strips & Scraps" book by Edyta Sitar 

I found an opportunity to use that fabric.

I'm going to do this quilt on the cover. 

Actually I would like to do every single one in that book. 

The book is just great.

I have all hers books. 

She recommended Aurifil threads, so I ordered a kit,

to give it a try, and what a difference.

I have been having problems with what I thought was my sewing machine,

but it turned out to be the thread I was using.

This is what I'm knitting at the moment, a cardigan for my son.

Lovely Italian yarn from Lana Grossa,

 Merino Wool / Baby Alpaca / Cashmere. 

So soft and nice to work with.

I tried to get dye from that seaweed I told you about, but without success,

will keep trying.  

This yarn was dyed with dye I made from birch and mint.

Have also done some DJ blocks.

Thank you for stopping by, I would love to see what you are doing.

Until next time,

happy stitching.
