you're right, michelle



you're right michelle, it's quit in here... we're all working hard on our UFOs... and on the new things!


well I finished some, and wanted to post pictures. here's the first.


It's Lottie - a Knitted Babe. the body was born in Spring and last week she finally got a face and hair! The hair is just a long fingerknitted tail!
I also finished "Eva's Autumn Bag", a couple of twins and other dolls. Sorry have no pictures jet!




A Quiet Blog

Hi everyone, isn't it quiet here...... I haven't posted because I haven't finished anything that's unfinished. I'm just working on my scraps afghan and a blanket for my almost 2 year old.

I also started a dolly blanket for my niece-in-law (ex) to go in with her Christmas stuff, it's in shades of pink in lovely soft yarns. I thought I'd make a little pillow to go with it.

Gotta go, the kids just got out of the shower.

my patchwork-afghan


here's my patchwork afghan... needs just the cover on the backside.... but it's been waiting for al least 12 years, so it can wait some months more....;-))

my first F(inished)O(bjects)

I am so HAPPY to share my first FOs (finished objects!)
here you can see the first group



and here comes the second group...

as you can see: they're all small, tiny things, every little thing just needed arms, eyes, a button or smth like that! They're now in bags ready for the next charity markets!

BUT

while I was working on my UFOS, I wondered WHY I have so many ...
well, first of al because I'm a little lazy and sometimes I think "I'll find the buttons later"/forgetting all about it, or "Can't find that yarn right now, will look for it tomorrow!"/forgetting again...

that was one reason, the second and the very most DANGEROUS (!!!) reason is, that by and by I get new ideas and MUST try immediately...


have a nice UFO-Sunday

Some of My UFO's

Hi there, how are those UFO's coming along? I've been busy playing around on my Blogger blog trying to work out how to post photos. I managed to do it through Flickr, however I could only post one photo per entry.

I tried through the Blogger photo icon, but it wouldn't work. It turns out it was a Blogger problem, not something I was doing, so that was good.

A wanted to share some UFO's I have from when I was into quilting last year. This is the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt I told you about that I had professionally stipple quilted. I stitched all these hexagons together by hand using papers about 15 (?) years ago. Next winter (hopefully) I will get back to it and put the binding on around the edges, then it will be done.



This is a close up so you can see the stipple quilting, she did an amazing job.


I forgot about this one, it's going to be a quilt-as-you-go I-Spy quilt. All the hexagons, backing and batting are cut out, but I lost interest.

This is one I machine stitched also about 15 years ago. When I can afford it I may also get it professionally quilted. It's just a top at the moment.

This one was for my girlfriends's first granddaughter, but I reached the point where I just could NOT look at it one more time, so I crocheted her something instead, it just needs to be quilted and the binding stitched on.

And lastly this is the UFO quilt top that I made out of all my quilting UFO blocks and bits and pieces. I had many leftovers, try-outs, appliques and odds and ends, so I came up with the idea of making them into a UFO quilt. It's just a top as yet, it also needs to be quilted and the binding attached to be finished.

So there you go! Now I might have to photo my crochet UFO's.........
Now I've shared mine, how about stopping by and sharing some pics of yours?
