Turkey Sock

I have decided it is time to participate in Work In Progress Wednesday over at The Needle and Thread Network simply because this forces me to get things done!  It is only Wednesday, but it feels like the week should be over!!!  Alas, two more days til the weekend.  

This evening I did sit down for a bit and knit, but it is now well past my bedtime, so I will quit.

I am still trying to finish sock # 2 of my November Sock Yarn Club.  This yarn is something to do with the "turkey", (the color way I think), hence why I am calling these my Turkey Socks!

Here is the second one, almost completed:

Now, off to bed!

Block One Done!!!

Yesterday I showed you all the center of the Prairie Rose Block of the Month that I am participating in from Prairie Points Quilt Shop.

I am proud to say that after a busy afternoon of figuring out what went where, and how, I have proudly completed:

Block One!!! 

I need to press it a little better but right now all the points line up and I am so excited about that!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Block of the Month!!!

Way back last summer on one of my trips to Prairie Points Quilt Shop I stumbled across a block of the month that was being made for a shop sample.

I LOVED it.  The colors were not my default colors, but the pattern was so neat that I just decided I HAD to participate. 

This Block of the Month started in January, but I did not pick up the blocks until February, so here is Block 1 of 9!

Well, actually a part of Block 1.  I am currently working on the rest of the larger block that this belongs in, but there are lots of little pieces that one could go very wrong with and it's late, and my blood sugar is low, so I quit on it for tonight.  Will try again tomorrow.

I think it's PRETTY.

The Block is called Prairie Rose Block of the Month and the link will take you to a link where the entire quilt can be seen and appreciated.

Now, off to bed and remember to turn my clock ahead.  I HATE Daylight Savings Time.  Should have stayed in Saskatchewan...

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Friday Feature Card

Since it's Friday I decided I better get back into the habit of posting something on the Krafting Krew site.

I ventured down to my craft room which happens to have three quilts on the go right now, and I stared at all my paper crafting supplies with a big question mark over my head (seriously).  What to make?  No idea!

So, I decided it was time to reference my go to place when I cannot think independently and participate in Mojo Monday 335.

Here is what I came up with:

I love the bicycle paper as well as the recent bicycle stamp from Paper Pumpkin so all in all I think it's fun, and I plan to send it off to my friend tomorrow of whom I always seem to be behind on sending post to.

Quilt # 2

Good Evening Internet Friends!

After working an additional shift at work today/yesterday, when I got home I was too tired to sleep, so I went to my craft room and did some quilting : )

As I posted the other day, I am making two versions of the Mi Vida Loca quilt.

Here is "my " version of this quilt:

I got a bunch of this fabric a while back just because it has music notes on it (I'm always a sucker for musical stuff) and have decided to use it in this project (my last mystery quilt had music notes in it too!!!).

 Going to go to sleep now.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Addicted!

Good Evening Internet Friends.  I have decided that I am addicted to fabric and yarn.  There, I said it!

Does this mean I will go to some re-hab venue or something?  No, not likely; I will make a trip to Ponoka, for fabric, not mental health : )

Last evening I started on yet another mystery quilt project: Mi Vida Loca.

Here is Step 1:

This quilt is actually being made for a friend of mine.  When I was picking out the fabrics she kept coming to mind (she likes brownish earthy colors).  Well, she is now engaged to be married, so I figured this would be the perfect wedding present for her!  A quilt from ME!

Around the Block

This weekend I have not got much accomplished in my crafting world.

I did knit some on my sock while my son was at art, but then after working another overtime shift this week, yesterday was pajama day!!!

I did lay out and start quilting this project though:

It is from a quilt kit called Around the Block that I picked up some time ago at Prairie Points Quilt Shop in Ponoka.  It is such a fun quilt shop!
Hope this inspires your own creativity...
