Next stop was to help some ladies prepare a quilt for a very special event in their daughters coming of age celebration. We’ve been invited to attend in July and it’s quite an honor.

Join me on a tour to Kenya. This is the experience of a lifetime.

So to the Sockittome saga – challenge.
It was also suggested that I add the crease in the fabric. At first I thought, goodness I can’t do that, but I had finished one sock today and I really liked it and those words resonated…. “I wonder if I could do that” So I did and I think it looks great.
Sockittome. – Challenge.

Sokittome – the idea and the process.
I could have appliquéd it but you all know I love to draw stuff so that’s what I decided to do. There will be appliqué on the quilt and quite a few embellishments but at this stage I’m just doing the drawings.
Quoth the raven nevermore Quilt is finished too.
The lack of Internet set me back a little yesterday but I did finish Geraldine and also “Quoth the Raven”
