Yarn love....

Well, I now have lots of knitting and crochet projects 

on the go again...maybe too many but I'm loving the variety...

unintended I've just noticed similar colours seem 

to be recurring and some are shades I don't use very often ;-)...

I've made lots of squares for a cushion and the large square 

above with the little daisy centre is part of the back using 

small yarn remnants...and may change when the front is complete! :-)

Also, a note too for anyone purchasing doll hair yarn for TEAROOM Dolls.....

Little Oke Dolls large loop mohair (above) is now known as 

'Wild Large Loop Mohair'

...it's beautiful and perfect for any type of doll making 

(also EN71 Toy Safety Certified)

 and is included in the TEAROOM Doll Kits with more shades available too at 

Little Oke Dolls online x

(a perfect place to find all doll making materials x)

P.S  The very pretty handmade yarn bowl was found here on ETSY...I love the colour...

...and I'm happy to report my quilt is now free of all my scribbles...will take a few pics next week x

Stitchin' happy....

...sewing down the binding on the back of my quilt...

(the best part....and always a perfect excuse to spend the afternoon watching an old movie along the way ;-)  )

...fresh summer colour...

(and for once I'm actually ahead with a project ... bring on summer!)

...securing the layers by Stitching in the Ditch...
(also highly recommended for clearing the mind ;) )

...hopefully my border sketching will disappear completely in the wash...
( fingers crossed...I'll soon find out  x  :-)  )

...using my trusty walking foot to stitch gentle border curves...

...I managed to slip in some vintage Laura Ashley fabric...
(purchased some time ago on Ebay in pristine condition and lovely to work with too  x )

(Laura Ashley Home Decoration 1984)
...and I've since found it in one of the old catalogues I've collected over recent years... 
...'Palmetto'...

♥ I also came across this stunning old Florida town house ♥
...which is just beautiful and reading all about it became quite a distraction from my sewing ... I would love to have a browse through those book shelves too...  

love

...and so... 

another finished quilt for one of our beds...and it's going into the washing machine today to hopefully remove my border sketching...the wadding should shrink just a little too :-)  ...I've also been working on some crochet (not exactly sure what it's going to be yet... probably a cushion...unless I buy more yarn... but the point was to use up some of the yarn I already have and I need to stick to my intentions once in a while :-)  )...and while my walking foot was gently chugging along to the radio ...I've been pondering long about new knitting projects and which direction to go next on the magic carpet...all to be shared soon along with my 'afterwash' quilt :-)
