Day 106

I do so wish that my sewing studio was less angled,

so that I could stand back and snap a proper photo

of this quilt.

IT IS FINISHED!!!!....

well, the quilt top is pieced,

I'll say that much!

here's a detail shot of the lower left corner

I showed it to our daughter last weekend

while they were here visiting,

and she very innocently asked if that was a butterfly!

(I'm very happy that she figured it out

before I had to point it out to her.)

This has been a tremendous journey,

and I thank you all for your ongoing support

and lovely comments.

They have helped me so much.

my dye job for today:

I have almost finished embroidering the family tree

on the back of the quilt.

A proper tree has a trunk, branches, and leaves, right?

So now I'm busy dyeing the wood.

Next will be the greenery.

Yesterday I picked up my knitting

 and began the second mitt of Purl Soho's

Traveling Cable Handwarmers

I knit the first one last Spring.

It was a fiddly knit, using the cable needle so often,

so I'm cabling without a cable needle this go round.

It's much faster and loads of fun.

thanks for stopping by

peace
