June 2013

Hey! Time for another monthly round-up and another productive crafting month.

Sewed up and crocheted another set of coordinating flannel baby blankets with crocheted edging.

Made progress on my Insects cross-stitch project.

Cut, pieced, and completed an entire quilt! Just the binding needs to be done to finish it off. My mom requested a quilt for my aunt with her favourite colours which happen to be turquoise and orange. I put together a Sparkling Cider quilt, because I've always wanted to make one.

I finished the binding on the Girl's Best Friend quilt I improvised out of the cutoffs from the half square triangles of my Pow Wow quilt. It's been in the wash and dryer to get that divine crinkling installed. 

I had some exciting packages in the mailbox.

My Diagonal Lace Socks have been bound off and blocked and worn.

Found a fun new sew along that involves embroidering on hexagons. More to come...

Made a Teapot Cozy and whipped up a little hexagon mug rug with scrap fabric to give as a set to a friend.

There is an adorable pattern that I've been tempted to try for awhile now and had some time to put it together and it was so much fun, but also really hard to commit to a colour palette. The project is The Have It All Wallet by Straight Stitch Society.

Baked some YUMMY Homemade Pop Tarts from the Smitten Kitchen

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
