Day 90.....not my usual sewing

I spent the afternoon having a sewing lesson....

on two sweaters that I finished knitting last Spring.

Above is my Garter Rib Pullover

which I began knitting last January.

I love the yarn - it is so soft -

and I can't wait to wear it once the weather gets cooler.

So Claudia, the owner of Yarn Rhapsody,

our wonderful local yarn shop,

helped me sew up the sleeve and side seams.

I also brought along my Fisherman's Daughter sweater,

which needs side seams and sleeves sewn up

(sounds like a theme, doesn't it?),

and Claudia helped me tackle that one too.

It's a great feeling to have gained this knowledge,

and now I hope I can quickly put it to good use,

and finish both sweaters....

along with several more that are waiting in the wings.

I also got two fat quarters of fabrics dyed for Maggie's quilt:

the one on the left is Dharma's Citrus Yellow,

while the one on the right is Pro Chem's Sun Yellow.

I think both will add a bit of zip to the side strips on the quilt.

hope you have a great weekend

thanks for stopping by

peace!
