dishcloth is composed of only two rows repeated throughout, a very easy beginner’s knitting project
This Seahawk cap was a gift for my daughter who is an avid Seahawk fan.
She loved it! A friend makes them in several team colors and wanted to make this for her.
This is the best “over all” photo since I was on the same level as all of these booths. All up close photos were taken with permission as this is a show where photos in general are not allowed.
One of the vendors enjoys painting her machines.
Notice the gadget for thread. This winds off the metallic threads in the correct way to keep them from breaking. (Yes, there is now one in my studio.)
This was an interesting demo. See the quilt in the background. She used gridded fusible interfacing onto which she put the pieces – either tee shirt or other fabric. Then she adhered strips between them as well as setting blocks if wished. This keeps the shirts from stretching.
Then she sewed straight lines across and then down to complete the top.
This is a look at the back of the quilt. (With this method, one could make a quilt very quickly)
Cindy Losekamp is demonstrating her paints and special stencils.
These ribbons made their way home with me,
as did these threads from Superior Thread Co.
I also needed a new rotary cutter from Kai scissors, some seam rippers, 2 pair of knitting needles and a pattern. I did NOT buy any fabric or yarn.
I found the recipe in my inbox this morning. Basically they are artichokes canned in water that I bought at Costco. I quartered the artichokes which I dipped in almond flour, milk, and crumbled chips. This site has some good recipes.
So after laundry, checking the bees, baking bread, going to the chiropractor – you know the routine, I had a few minutes to sit down and finish this cloth I started yesterday. It is Grandma’s favorite and can be made any size. In the past I used the pattern for a baby blanket. It really is a very beginner’s pattern that works up pretty.
A day of appointments and shopping. First the doctor, then to retrieve my sewing machine, JoAnn’s (no luck on the half price Seahawk fabric), another doctor’s office to try to ask where to get the shoe inserts he wants me to use, Office depot for a good price they gave me on ink and finally the grocery store.
