When asked if you could quilt a two sided quilt, you make it happen!

Knitting a freehand bag and started wondering how often people even use patterns, anyway. So--how often do you use a pattern when you make things ? This include knitting/crochet/sewing/weaving/nalbinding/bobbin lace/tatting/etc but also things like woodworking, cooking, and baking. If you want to just pick the thing you do most often that's fine.

I personally do not use patterns as I find them far more confusing than just figuring out the construction of an item and simply making it. I do very occasionally browse ravelry for inspiration but have downloaded maybe 2. In the 5 or so years since I joined. And have followed exactly 1, which I modified every single aspect of. In my defense, dyslexia.

I’ve been working on this for so long now, and it’s finally finished!

My previous sewing kit was getting too small and I needed an upgrade, so I started working on the bee cross stitch to incorporate and then came across the patches. I was tossing up which to use and then decided, why not make it double sided?

So after many hours of hand quilting it is finally finished and I now have room for all of my equipment!

Craft Notes 11/12

Greetings! I finally finished that darn blanket. I’m never knitting a fingering weight blanket again. Let’s ignore the fact that I have one in progress. Anyways, I thought that I would share a round up of my wips and my plans for the rest of the year.

the remaining fingering weight blanket - no plans to finish this year

the denim quilts - no plans to finish this year

Musselburgh #19 - would like to finish by the end of the year

baby socks to donate - would like to finish by the end of the month

and my next cast on will be some type of top down raglan sweater for my daughter. She wants the body in the charcoal and the sleeves striped but narrow stripes on one sleeve with wider stripes on the other sleeve. - I plan to start this after I am done with the baby socks .

my next cross stitch project to start in December

There was an estate sale on our street today, so my roommate and I walked over to take a look around and see if there were any good fiber craft materials around. And boy howdy were there and now I'm emotional. The woman that lived there was obviously a quilter, because there were two absolutely stunning hand quilted quilts hanging on a blanket ladder in the living room for sale. If I had $200 I would have taken one home because her stitches were so tiny and straight and her piecing was impeccable. And there was a box of crocheted doilys and pillow case edging, and another box of vintage glass buttons, and another box of embroidery floss, and another box of embroidery practice sheets and fabric. I ended up buying her sewing kit basket because I saw some lovely needle books from the 40s in there at first glance.

And in the process of going through her kit, I found bird feathers and small smooth pebbles and little bits and bobs she had tucked away for some reason or another. She kept her straight pins in an old prescription bottle from 1969. She strung all her safety pins onto a kilt pin. She had 6 packs of upholstery needles in her kit. I have no idea who this woman was, but I know she went to Paris in 1971 and brought home a hotel sewing kit and took the time to write down the dates of her trip.

And then I found her chunk of bees wax and got so so emotional. She'd obviously used that particular chunk for countless projects and it looks like a flower from all the times she's pulled floss over it. I'm holding all these parts of this woman's life and I'll never know her or her story, but I do get to marvel at her tools and her work.

We went to the big garage sale yesterday and this one guy had an absolutely beautiful set of pink depression glass and I wanted it SO BAD but I kept looking at each item like... what would I even do with this? They're too pretty to use and where would I display them? Like here's my depression glass ice cream sundae/soda float glass (I was considering that one so bad) its next to my collection of barbies! Or my connection of Cherished Teddies sgdgdgdg like my mom has a small cabinet for knickknacks but it would still look so out of place 😩

Plus since it was an individual guy selling it and I had a bag full of shit to ring up at the front counter table, it felt weird sggddgd

But it was so pink and so pretty 😭 I wanted the whole set bc it looked so stunningly perfect as a set all together but god I dont have that kinda room for that sgdggdgdgd and again too nice to use 😥

The goal: mimic the brushstrokes

Found a pic on a college website that showed the paint and brushstrokes well. There were a lot of colors of paint in those strokes. So my brain was like ok, build up the colors of the paint too. And then later my brain was like what were you thinking building up all that thread. And then when today after the fourth additional color, my brain was like you gotta stop now or you never will. Then when I pulled it off the frame and stepped back, my brain (with a headache today) says see, told you.

Now to take something to make it stop hurting, and then bind and deliver…

I've been on a crafting kick lately. So I bought a few craft kits from a local museum to 1. try them and 2. bonus support museum!

My first quilt (mini quilt kit), measures about 10" x 10".

And if you put it on the floor, and have a cat = instant cat trap.

Made by 'You Can Learn Kits', if you are interested see if you can pick it up from your local museum (probably more likely from your local historical museum). If you can't find one, you can order from Old Sturbridge Village's store.

Not bad for a starter kit, included instructions which covered general topics like threading a needle, doing a running stitch, right side of fabric, back tacking, and vocab like 'seam'. I'd say pretty good if you have minimal sewing experience.

And if written instructions aren't your thing, they have videos, didn't check those out but (https://www.youtube.com/@youcanlearnkits2682).

There was also some bonus/extra fabric from the border that I saved and used to make accessories for the next kit I worked on.

No idea why, but I think writing is my cat Freya’s favorite group activity. When I sit down to write, she immediately sits in my lap and starts making biscuits--butt balanced on one arm while she “nurses” on the other. This will go on for up to ten minutes before she eventually lays down. She does this every time, though it took me a while to figure out how to accommodate her once I switched to a laptop (one wouldn’t think there was enough room on my lap for both computer and cat, but she found a way).

She’s also fond of quilting, but I think writing is her very favorite.
