FUSION QUILT (Spring Garden) - April 2017
My BFF Gayle is a quilter and wanted to do a 'buddy' project that consisted both her love of quilting and my passion of crochet. She found a wonderful design by Tiffany of Fannylou Designs - the 'High Tea Quilt' was a fun and wonderful experience.
I've never quilted before so this was a great easy introduction to a basic quilting for me. After the winding through a maze of hundreds of fabrics I finally found a charm pack that was truly charming (lol). I also decided that a wall hanging would be enough of a challenge for me to start. After a I finally got 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. It provided a smooth glossy finish and a tighter designed edge. I chose Aunt Lydia's #3 thread because it is a heavy enough gauge to frame the work and show off the stitch design I had in mind. The finished product surpassed my expectations - I loved how it turned out.
UPDATE: It's been over a year since I introduced the Tea Quilt. The border pattern is available. Please click on the link below if you'd like a copy.

Infinity Stars Scarf
This pattern came to me recently on a 'snow weekend'. A chance to work up something quick and de-stash. It took about 3 hours all together to work this up. I used 2 brands of yarn but both were 'Bulky' #6 weight.
You can work it up shorter or longer depending on how many times you want to wrap it. The stitch count works in even numbers - for each 2 stitches you add (or subtract) 2.5" of finished work.
(Temporarily unavailable for Free download. Working on an edit.)
Candy Cane Topper
This is a 1st attempt at this little accessory. I hope to have a couple more versions available before too long.
This is one for free! Try it different colors - with or without fringe.

Opus Lace Scarf
This beautiful broomstick lace scarf is a wonderful weekend project. The pattern is worked so that the lace rows lay flat and the scarf looks great on either side.
