Recipe for a sewful day.

One baggie full of string pieced rectangles, leftovers from long ago.
 An inspirational photo from Pinterest.
Of course, I have no idea what the block name is . . . do you?
 A bit of cutting
 A bit of sewing.

And a new block the likes of which I've not seen before.

Now I just need to finish all 12.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Have I mentioned that I recently took a felting class?

 Now don't laugh, this was my first attempt.  The process involves laying wool roving over a piece of cotton fabric, wetting it with soap and water, folding up the plastic and rolling PVC pipe back and forth to agitate the fibers so they cohere.  It will eventually become a pin cushion.  Wool lanolin is good for sharpening needles, or so I've read.

The shop offers a wide variety of colorful stuff for knitters, spinners, and weavers.

 Aren't these pretty?

 The next item coming up in the Baggie Brigade, "cue the trumpets", is a string piecing project that's about 10 years old.

From this book here.  Check with your guild members, someone is bound to have it.  It's an oldie but a goody.

Have a warm and sewful weekend everyone.  Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
