Ann found out that I am a lapsed quilter and wanted to see something I had done. This is a lap quilt I made using batik fabrics. It was machine sewn and hand quilted. I hate trying to quilt on a machine. The darkest color is a very deep purple, and, yes, that is a hair clippy thingy holding the quilt on a laundry line. When you're single, sometimes you have to make do.
I tried to play with the contrast to get a better shot of the deep purple, but I didn't do a great job of showing just how lovely the fabric was/is.
Happy, Ann?
Not much going on here knitting-wise. I had ripped back the self stripping sock that I had been working on and cast on last night to do both socks at once... toe up. I could not get the yarn to start at the same point on both socks no matter how much I tried. I finally gave up and will have to figure out how to live with it. As I am a freak that needs shit to match, this may take me some time.
And now a little something for the non-quilters...
The rose is Sweet Inspiration and the weed is FeverFew. Trust me, it's a weed.
Ooooo Love it! :D
Some of that fabric looks very familar. ;^)
How many quilts have you made, btw?
My self stripping socks may or may not match. I'm not sure. All that rainbow is making my eyes numb. o.0
Love the roses!!
Even the weeds look kinda nice in your garden. ;)
*SMOOOOOOOOOCH*

It should all look familiar. :p
Quilts? Two baby... one was a panel, one holiday panel, two large scale WTF was I thinking quilts, two or three or four... five? smaller ones. I can't think straight in the summer, so I have never quilted like some people we know. *L*
They are only socks, it doesn't matter. Repeat repeatedly. ;^)
Thank you. That feverfew smells like Lemon Pledge. I hate that stuff.
*huggles*

I am soooooooooooo very happy to see your quilted stuff. Thank you for humoring me..it's nice to know that you can be easily manipulated. :o)
Socks do not have to match..store bought socks match, hand knitted socks should be unique, not exactly alike. Dave told me that after the stripes did not line up on my first pair...wise words...

You're welcome. I think Otter is going to work on taking better pics of the quilt I made her. Maybe that's what I want you to think. ;^)
That does make sense. It's still going to annoy me, but it does make sense.
