A CHRISTMAS PLAIDISH QUILT

2020 has been a year of confusion,

exhaustion, anger, frustration and

the drive for me to stay busy!

I have to create to keep my sanity!

I want to share with you a quilt that is a free pattern

from Erica Taylor Jackman aka @kitchentablequilting.

This pattern is Plaidish 2

and I have pulled a lot of Christmas fabrics...

well red, green and white fabrics.

Many are Christmas prints I pulled from

stash and scraps.

Here is a link to download

Plaidish 2 over on Erica's blog.

It seems more like a check than a plaid to me.

Should look good in the Christmas color.

I doubt I will finish this by Christmas but

at least I am gathering the fabrics and perhaps

I will get it all cut out.  

QUARANTINE KNITTING

When I am not sewing...or card making...

you can find me knitting.

I could call it Quarantine Knitting but

I began the first two projects before RONA

raised her UGLY head.

In January, while in Florida, I began this lovely shawl.

It's the "Dusk to Dawn" pattern you can find on Ralvery.

I used a fingering weight yarn, 50 Shades of Gradient.

I finished it in April after my return from Florida 

Next on my needles was a sport weight yarn called

Pima Prisim yarn and the pattern is free on Ralvery.

"Letters from Russia"

The last finish was a fingering weight

call Cherry Garcia.  I used another free

pattern from Ralvery called "Arlequin Shawl"

This would be perfect for football season...

however, RONA has put her nose all up into

that business as well.

I have several more skeins to knit and have

found patterns to go with the yarns.

I must keep busy because but seriously

my creativity is halted now and again

by CORONA BRAIN!
