Mish Mash II......

I need to knuckle down.  My projects are still all over the place.  

I thought I had better start using up some of the enormous amounts of fabric I bought when the girls and I went on our two day shop hop.  So I pulled these fabrics.

There was enough to make two of these.

Then there were some e-mails from my guild regarding whether to have a quilter's to quilter's sale, so I started going through my things looking for what I wanted to sell; and I have quite a list of things.  Of course, now they have put it off for a few months until we  can get a vote at one of our meetings.

While digging in the sewing closet, I came across several projects that I wanted to get done.  One was this knitting project that I had had some problems with a year or two ago and thought just maybe I can do it now.  So, I have  the pieces knitted and blocked and they are waiting to be stitched together to become the Boxy Lace Top (kind of a t-shirt cover-up). 

I, also, came across my dad's shirts.  My goal was to make a couple things (pillows, throws, wall hangings or whatever) out of them, so I decided to sit down one night and finally deconstruct them.  It took two evenings; and it was a little melancholy, too. 

It's down to one bag.

.....and I got several buttons out of it, too. 

Another project that I wanted to work on was a crochet border for a Christmas stocking that I had made.  I was using a cotton thread which is pretty fine.  It has been nothing but problems, so I pulled out some cotton yarn thinking if I made it bigger that I could see my stitches and maybe figure out what I needed  to do.  That didn't help, but since I had the cotton yarn out, I decided to make up the skein into  dish cloths.  

Then I thought I had better get to a customer quilt that has been sitting here.  

This is a campy/woodsy themed quilt and I used a pantograph called "Denise's Rosebuds" on it.  

Need to keep on this roll since I have another customer quilt waiting in the wings.  I will be using the same panto for that one, too.  

There were a few other things that I touched, but really didn't make enough headway on them to even mention, but hopefully my next post will be about getting those completed.  So, until next time....keep on stitching.
