Back from vacation
I went to Portland and Long Beach, WA this week and got back last night. Hence, I had lots of car-knitting time and I got quite a bit of Audrey knitted. I am 20 rows away from the front (or back). And then it’s on to sleeve island.
Not much to say about that. It all seems to be going okay. I did mess up the darts the tiniest bit on one of the pieces but not enough for me to rip and re-knit. I think it will look fine.
Oh. My. God. I went a little crazy with my MIL at this wonderful little quilt store in Long Beach. It’s Called Anna Lena’s. They had the most adorable kit of retro cowboy prints that I HAD to have. I also picked up a book that the owner of the store wrote. It’s called Bundles of Fun and it has patterns for quilts made out of fat quarters. I thought this might be a good beginner book since I’m still such a newbie.
That was the first day. I decided to go back the next day to buy some charms.. They are little 5″ squares of each fabric from a line. Then, of course, I had to buy a pattern for a quilt made from these charms since I’m kind of clueless as to what to do with them. But they were just so cute! I had to get them! I can’t wait to get started…
