Been busy sewing

Been a busy month  and new year so far. I have been trying to finish up on a few  things today was a good day. I got my grand daughters tote /quilt finished up and the book to go to them both. Plus I have the binding sewn on a pear quilt I made the top for last fall, so it will be finished this weekend.
I have been trying to learn to knit, imagine that at my age! (71) not a lot of luck hard to grasp the needle position. but maybe soon it will all click  like learning to use my thimble.
     Baby sister made a cute hat and thought I would try one. haha Might get one made before the year is over.  I am hoping to be smart enough to make it.get the knitting down I will for sure post a picture of whatever I make .
 now for the things I managed to complete today besides some house work and laundry.


Now below is the quilts opened up the one that is pink  is for Sarah Patricia and the blue one is for my Arsema

top sewn borders to go

I was sewing along with the Lori Holt gang and this is my top thus far. I am working on the borders.  hopefully it will get added this week. I had so much fun  looking forward to  each new block. She has done such cute things. I have made some of her kitchen towels they have the days of the week on them and some pretty fabric on the bottom for a colorful  trim.I hope to make the canisters next. I bought my jars  her pattern  and have some paint. so time will tell if I can get them made or not. the pattern is called Kitchen Love by Lori Holt.
 I have so many things going at this time of year. but I love it all. so will continue on and do my best to get some of them finished. Have a great weekend coming up and stay warm and enjoy  your time.
