It is officially winter tomorrow but I think it arrived a couple of weeks early. I have heard that even Qld has had a few nippy nights. The upside of cold days and nights is that I love crocheting especially when a blanket grows to the point where it is big enough to cover my lap. I only have another 4 or 5 rows left to do on munchkin's blanket and then I shall do the crocheted borders.
Inner and outer borders for my little quilt have been cut now that I have completed the main part. I have placed the borders so you get the idea. I struggled to find big enough pieces of Civil War fabric in my stash for the wider border so I ended up with the pink. Despite not being a pink girl I rather like it.
The Christmas wall hanging has been machine quilted at a minimum and I have cut fabric for the sleeve which is the same fabric on the back. I haven't selected binding fabric yet. Whew! Did I have a tough time trying to attach the walking foot to my machine! I think hand quilting may have been quicker.
I finished another book .
Seeing as we are going to remain in lockdown for the duration of winter despite our Premier rolling back a bit tomorrow I ordered a couple of books online. I get nervous when my " to read" shelf starts to dwindle.
Stay warm and safe.
Angel Blessings.

You wasted no time getting back into crocheting once the yarn arrived. The pink border works well. I agree with you about staying in isolation for a bit longer. We are only heading out for necessary trips. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteThe crochet is lovely. Your little quilt is gorgeous! Well done on your Christmas wall hanging too. I do understand the empty book shelf anxiety lol!
