From the last couple of days. The purple one was obviously cut wrong when I cut it, but I made it anyway. I realize I have not given you a measurement on them in a while. They are each about an inch and a half in diameter.
Weaving incident yesterday, broken threads happen. They happen more often when your loom sits under the stairs of a house with 4 small people who like to throw things on it, also when the same warp (the threads running front to back on the loom) has been on the loom for nearly a decade, and through 4 moves!
Not done the correct way, exactly but the way I fix threads. Oh and one must remember when weaving that if you use every single bit of a warp thread in the warp you will not have any to fix broken threads. Oh well, it becomes an interesting design element....or at least that is what I tell myself!
This is the fabric for the center of the front of Vega's quilt. The floss will be used to embroider a yet to be determined poem/song/story about a bird or a tree....may be the Giving Tree but I am not sure yet. This is the very beginning of the first quilt that you all will get to see from start to finish.
Bad picture but this also has the 2 inch squares that I will be using to do some piecing also on the top. I have some great woven plaid for the birds that will also go on it, but you will have to wait to see that part for now.
Current work on the Superman quilt...it is about halfway done with the Phinedroid and Ferbot part. Then it will be folded and stored until I get the embroidery done on the Harry Potter version of the same quilt, and the border put on and Fancy Nancy Fancy vocabulary put on the other one. Then I will begin quilting them all.
At the fabric store today when I had my 2 year old with me she kept saying that she "needed" a specific fabric! It was the best when someone the next row over heard her and snickered a bit, especially when it was about a really obnoxious purple Hello Kitty fabric that she asked for for another 3 rows. I may be creating a monster with this one!
I have some new magazines to wander through...Stitch (Winter) and Quilting Arts gifts. Plus several Martha Stewart and Food Network Mags that I will have a whole list of new projects and recipes I want to try. Check in tomorrow, I may just have a list. Then again it will be a windy cold soccer day so I may decide that I have other things to post about!
Those are my just a fews for the day....what were yours?
