jaunts around town

left here to do a few errands, stopped at ac moore and got some yarn on sale at 50% off, could only get one. but i had hubby buy me a set o bamboo circular needles (usual price of 9.99) for only 4.50

went to michales after that for 20% off total order and got a few skeins of yarn. my granddaughter wanted a blue scarf and a purple hat so got simply soft and will mix and match for mittens, scarf and leg warmers.

then onto walmart to find anything on sale, they had simply soft 2 for $5 but only one skein left so i left it there, tiny portion of the store had yarn. like 1/18th of an aisle.

ac moore had most yarn selection from many different brands, also a table set up about crochet things, i couldnt get close enough to see what demo was about.
working on the elephant afghan now. takes forever with double strand of yarn

sweater, pouch

this was a sailboat sweater i redid the whole thing for my friend as she had all the wrong ribbings.

that's the only history i have of it.

the island, quilters and charity work

jaunt to the island

joanns quilt of the year 2007, my mom is just now finishing this one up as she didn't have all the blocks. its called paisley garden. very fallish colors. looks really really nice

went to the island and attended the quilters club meeting.

a woman by the name of billiejean rice started this quilt but passed away. her husband donated all her quilting to the quilting club and they just recently completed this quilt and all agreed to give it to one of her relatives as she's dying of pancreatic cancer. it will be very much appreciated.

this shows bluework quilting. the seashells on this quilt are exquisite and i'd love to have one of these for myself, LOL

this is one quilt that each member took a square home with them and quilted it and added the center of their own design. it will go to a veteran or his family.

this wool was donated by a shop in RI and we were to make things for children of afghanastan. i made mittens. the white is a helmet liner for the troops--that's another charity but the wool was donated to make it.

these two pictures show the progress of the pumpkins in my moms neighbors yard, his name is eddie and they grow to be about one thousand pounds each year. he covers them with quilts and afghans.
