I finally started quilting my Aunt’s nine patch that I’ve been putting off. I usually quilt several tops for her each year and this is the last one I’ve got waiting to do for her. I got it loaded over a week ago but I wanted to piece my Autumn quilt so I hadn’t started the quilting yet.
I also cut the fabric for the borders on the Autumn quilt. JudyL suggested purple but I don’t have a shade that will work. I do have a pretty autumn red with leaves that I’ll use and in between a narrow inner and a wide outer border of the red fabric, I’m going to piece a scrappy gold one with leftovers from my fat quarters.
I was out running errands this afternoon and decided to go to the yarn store. I wanted to buy more yarn to make a matching scarf for the blue/green hat I made the other day. I ended up buying yarn for a shawl, a hat, and the scarf.
I just donated two boxes of yarn that I wanted to get rid of before my move and I need to make sure I don’t buy more yarn than I’m actually going to use. I also shipped off two hats and a scarf to my Mom. The blue hat is not nearly that bright in person – the camera flash is to blame I guess.
