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 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 stitch design I had in mind. The finished product surpassed my expectations - I loved how it turned out.

Breezy Lace Summer Scarf
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.

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.
