Mid August progress

 Linking to Chookshed challenge

I have finished two more scarves for charity. 

I finished quilting one of my mother's quilts and delivered it to her to finish stitching down the binding. 

I need to finish quilting the next quilt.

 

Mid may progress

 Linking to Chookshed challenge

This months challenge was to quilt any tops for the Treasured babies charity.

I only had one unquilted.

That is now done and the binding on ready to stitch down. 

I finished sewing in the ends of the baby blanket and finished 4 pairs of fingerless mitts as well as 7 scarves. They will be dropped off tomorrow for the charity KOGO. 

I finall stopped procrastinating and basted 2 quilt tops. I have started the ditch and walking foot quilting on the first one. I will then do the same to the second one before trying out the fancy quilting on my new machine. 

It is a big learning curve. 

Down the rabbit hole

 I really need more work on goal setting. 

Generally,  the minute I set a goal, I go off in a different direction. 

I did finish knitting the baby blanket, but I still have to finish off the ends.

That did mean that I had no knitting for car journeys and I have a lot this week. 

I grabbed a tub of yarn that I was given for charity projects and there was a started scarf, but it wasn't suitable for car knitting. I decided to finish it and then finished 3 more.

I knitted a pair of fingerless gloves, tweeked the pattern and made a second pair.

They still need to be sewn up.

I am anticipating knitting a few more pairs this week. 

We will see what happens  now that I have made that pronouncement.

Catch-up

It has been a long time between posts, so i will start with my first catchup post.

These little pouches are a donation to the Victorian wildlife rescue service to be used for baby marsupials. 

The yarn for this scarf was a donation and the finished product was lovely and warm and donated to KOGO.

This scarf and hat were knitted for a friend of DS#1 who was from Queensland and freezing during officer training in Gippsland in winter.
