sewing and of course, a new cross-stitch start

I picked up Einav from camp, she just woke up from nap in her kitty cat sleeping bag I made her. Love seeing it being used.

I’ve made her a new, dress, she hasn’t worn it yet, we are waiting for her birthday.

Sorry about how stretched it is on the hanger

, I was too lazy to go find a better one. Of course it’s pink, bright pink, her favorite color right now.

I ordered a whole new set of the plastic snaps, they work so much better for me to install than the sturdy metal ones.

In the summer, I don’t need a quilt on the bed. But where to put it? I went ahead and ordered this quilt rack from Etsy. It came from NY state, hand made in America. I did have some problems screwing the bars in

, oh well, it holds the quilt nicely and no one will see where the bars don’t match well. Once the weather cools, another quilt will live on here.

Every few weeks I’ll probably refold the quilt differently, to highlight different parts of the quilt.

Here is my next project

, I bought the pattern at the Attic. I ended up ordering the actual called for threads. There are such subtle differences in the shading, why play with it. I have plenty of other patterns that I can pull threads at will

I started, I realize that the border is this one motif (I’ve already done three here), repeated and reversed. I started in the middle of the fabric, moving from side to side has it’s drawbacks.

I have realized that jumping around with one color leads to mistakes, so I pulled out this lovely thread hold I made, because the threads are so similar I had to make little labels for each color. As you can see, not to many colors now.

This is because

, once I had enough of the outer border, I could start on the inner border which means that often , that color that I have used is also in the small border and I can continue with it there. Or, since I’m working from both ends, I can use the color on one side or another.

I have also been working outside, I am loving the garden so much

, both Joel and I spend a lot more time outside.
