It’s meaning a lot more animal pictures…

quilt

My friend E (Poking My Eyes Out) and I have been doing some antique browsing lately. I have been looking for a quilt for picnics that was well-used. I found one in Renton. It’s beat up but I love it.

hand quilted detail

This hand quilting has me tempted to try my hand at hand-piecing and hand-quilting. I love the tiny stitches.

angle baby sweater

Creating of a different sort. I finally finished this baby sweater. I think it’s cute and hopefully not too modern for the parents.

I had a hard time finding a good button. I’m not 100% happy with this one but it’ll do.
