FUSION QUILT (Spring Garden) - April 2017
"The Buddy Project" of spring 2017 was a Tea Quilt with my BFF. Combining both her love of quilting and my passion of crochet.
[Our basis for the project was by Tiffany of Fannylou Designs - the 'High Tea Quilt'.]
I had never quilted before, so this was an easy introduction to basic quilting for me. After winding through a maze of hundreds of fabrics, I finally found a 'charm pack' that was truly charming. I decided that a wall hanging would be enough of a challenge for me to start. After getting all of my squares sewn and the blanket stitching done - I was ready to crochet the edges.
Because I'm using the quilt as a wall hanging I decided to use thread for the crochet borders instead of yarn. It provided a smooth glossy finish and a neater designed edge.
I chose Aunt Lydia's #3 thread because it is a heavy enough gauge to frame the work and show off the border, which I designed.
The finished product surpassed my expectations - I loved how it turned out.

Love Me Knot Scarf
This little number was inspired by a fabulous thread and a wonderful respite at the beach. Chilly breezy days filled with sounds of ocean waves rolling onto the beach, seagulls singing, rocking chairs and warm tea.
I loved the stitch repeat and how wonderfully silky it felt. The drape was fantastic and it felt light and airy.
It's now available in my Ravelry store. Click the link below to hop over.
