On the knitting front I bought yarn to make gifts for some of the girlies on my list.
I started and ripped out a little sweater for Janie twice, but I think I'm settled on this one. click click click
My forest of trees is growing. There are several waiting for the trunks to be added.
Someone mentioned they couldn't see how the trees are 3D so here is a photo. After all the trees are pieced I need to sew little pinwheels in the corners
and another little project just for fun : )
Thanks so much to everyone who left a comment on my give-away. Mr. Random Number chose..........
Stephanie @ quarter Incher. Congratulations Stephanie! I have sent you an e-mail.
As a side note there were so many comments that were 'no reply'. If you didn't hear back from me it's because I had no way of reaching you : ( I tried --really I did
linking up with Freshly pieced
I just love all the pretty yarn, especially the Vintage in pink.
ReplyDeleteYour tree quilt is looking good. How are you going to quilt it since I guess you don't want to flatten the 3d effect?
Have fun knitting!

Congratulations to Stephanie. Thank you for hosting the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove those simply solids blocks! Your "little project" is very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThose little trees are wonderful as are the blocks. Great projects going on there.
ReplyDeleteThe simply solid blocks are really fun!
ReplyDeleteSolid blocks are great, Carla! I didn't realize that your trees are 3D, how interesting - are they pockets for surprises? I love burlap and it's most beautiful with that white fabric! x Teje
