Yes, folks, it's true. Three posts in two days. Summer at home is a good thing.
I had a great visit today with a crafty friend - look at the lovely crocheted potholder she so generously gave me! You can check out her yarn adventures on
her bilingual blog. I have been considering relearning to crochet - and now have two very capable friends to teach me - but the question is: do I really need another
addiction hobby?! For now, the answer is no.
I pin-basted the latest
red and white quilt today and hope to start quilting it tomorrow, but in the meantime I was inspired to dig out
a UFO from three summers ago. It's the Marquee pattern from
Modern Quilt Workshop. I had everything cut, so it was easy to get started with it again. I ironed everything today, including the binding. This will actually be the fourth quilt I'll have made from this book (and the one closest to the original pattern!), but I shouldn't count my chickens before they're hatched! Here are the others, especially for folks who haven't been reading my blog since 2006/7 (and for those who fear that I've given up quilting for sock knitting!):

Wow, you really have put this book to great use! I try not to buy books anymore unless I know for certain I will make at least 1 project within the next few months! Go ahead and learn to crochet if you have willing teachers... never know when it might come in handy! I really love the quilts you made.
All lovely quilts - but confetti quilts do it for me every time - simple but so effective - and each one that's made looks different
I like the things you have made and show on your blog!
I have this book too, but never made a quilt from it! Love the ones you've done :)
