I just decided to go poking back through my photos and start where I left off. So this should be chronological, but may also be a bit random.
These first two photos are of the spot where the house I grew up in used to stand. They pushed it in sometime in the spring, after my last post. Obviously bittersweet. This was the only house I lived in prior to going away to college and then moving to the area I live in now. My grandparents lived across the back yard from this house and in fact one of my brothers now lives in that spot where my grandparents live.
We had a Chicago Sewing Social meet-up at Benzie Design. Their shop is so gorgeous with all of the felt lined walls and bins of felt balls. They also carry little kits. These were needle felting kits that a couple of us bought and worked on. I think mine is the one on the left. I also bought some felt balls and made the necklace in the second photo. It was super easy to make. I'm looking forward to colder weather when it will be easier to wear a necklace made with wool balls.
This is a quilt that I made when pattern testing for Erica at Kitchen Table Quilting. This is a version of The Linda Quilt. I find Erica's patterns to be really well written and would certainly recommend any of them. I ended up gifting this quilt to my cousin's baby girl. I was sewing the top together on the day she was born and then the quilt decided it was just meant for her.
Hmmm... just realized that I am at the end of the photos that I loaded into this post, so I will end here for now. It's late, so I'll try for more posts in the following days.
