Ellie Grows

It's the end of another week and I have been able to

sew a little in the last couple of days.

Ellie the baby quilt now has borders!

It was quite a challenge to find the right outer border for Ellie.

I wanted to use the word fabric for the inner border and didn't want

another aqua/turquoise for the larger border.

This fabric finally jumped out at me and said

"Here I am!"

I satin stitched around the sections of Ellie, making the parts more prominent.

Thank you, again, Libby in TN for the idea of sewing fabrics together

crazy quilt style and then cutting the pieces.

I'll add her eye and may add a sun and some grass.

We shall see!!

Onto Friday Knitting....

I have been able to knit this week and have one sock done

and the second sock more than half finished.

This "Sausalito" yarn is soooo soft! 

There was a knot in the yarn and caused the colors to repeat.

It's okay... they are my favorite colors in the yarn!

These heels are knitted with the short row method.

This is the first time I have used this method and really like how they 

look and how easy they are to make.

Please visit Patchwork Times to see what others are creating.

Happy Friday!
