Wait! The Summer’s not over yet.

The Fall issues are coming into my mailbox lately,

but the desert heat's season still not over yet.

"Autumn Wools" 

by Cheri Payne @Quilts by Cheri

Primitive Quilts and Projects/Fall 2011

I've been busy with studying (really?)

and playing of course, and here is

my first autumn project of this year 

just finished today.

It was so much fun making 

this little quilt with wool applique.

I enjoyed every process of it!!

I asked my quilty friend Ms. K and

tweeted to see if I should proceed

with coffee/tea dyeing process 

to give a primitive look to it

as suggested in the pattern.

And guess what people said?

No!

So I better listen to my friends 

for that ;)

BTW, you don't know what else I'm in trouble with.

What can I do with a ball of yarn and needles?

Knitting!

Well, I decided not to go towards to that area

last year and it was pretty tough.

I was really busy with enjoying making

all kinds of small quilts last year,

it was ok for me not to think about.

But as seeing my LYS's newsletter filled with

some yummy looking classes offered coming in,

it was getting really hard to resist to sign up.

Then I did sign up for one of the classes

starting from the next week :O

@Madelinetosh

Yarn: Tosh Worsted by Madelinetosh

Needles: #6 US circ ndls

As I haven't even touched the yarn

since this UFO project being left 

about a year and a half ago,

I pulled it out from the basket

and picked up the stitches to

 refresh my skill before the class begin.

And magically, I still seemed to remember

how to knit and purl fairly well! lol

Ms. Limo: Can you believe that?

Is mommy really going back to knitting now?

It's still 110F outside everyday here!!

And this will be another quilt I'd like to

get started on during the summer.

It's a big quilt (for me anyway.),

and a bit Christmassy as

the red & green fabrics stand out.

I'll have to finish my other WIPs 

(This and that.)

before this one though...

That's about it from me for now.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.
