The great granny square afghan is done and turned in. I joined all the squares with slip stitch on the back, and then joined all the rows the same way. It made a pretty good size blanket. About 47"x53". Now I'm just working on finishing up the previous two weeks of the Project Linus Mystery quilt so I can get it put together as soon as they release the layout this Saturday! Plus another crochet blanket is in progress, thanks to a tutorial by Bella Coco on youtube. You can find her tutorials on her website ... See you next week!
I make stuff. Sometimes I knit or crochet it, sometimes I sew it, sometimes I like to just talk about stuff other people make. What can I say, crafts are cool!

Meanwhile I'm working away on turning ALL.THOSE.GRANNY.SQUARES. into a blanket to turn in a week from Saturday, so that I can move on to week 4's pattern for the mystery quilt, 2 log cabins.

TTMT #327 - jewells68 - September 24, 2019 - Candy Wrappers, Trees, and ...
In which you see the beginnings of week 2 of the Project Linus Mystery Quilt, as well as week 2 from last year's mystery quilt, which I abandoned while in the process of piecing week 2. That's pretty much all the craftiness going on over here.
I hope you all can squeeze at least a bit of craftiness in here and there... See you next week!

TTMT #326 - jewells68 - September 17, 2019 - Bearly Quilting
In which I show off my first week's blocks for the new Project Linus Mystery Quilt "Logey Bear Leads the Way". This year I'm using all stash fabrics/scraps. The Pfaff/Regulator saga continues, but I didn't go into it at all this week. Also I forgot to mention that a coworker gave me an old (but never used) quilt she won in a silent auction for her son's theater group years ago that had just been sitting in a bin. It looked ruined but I washed it in warm with a couple of color catchers and lo and behold it came out just fine. So I snipped a few threads, sewed a Project Linus label on it called it PL2019 #8, which means I'm still only ONE blanket behind for my donations this year, yay!

TTMT #324 - jewells68 - September 4, 2019 - Halloween+
In which you get to see the finished Halloween Quilt top, yay! I know it's only the first week of September, so I guess that means I have time to make Halloween Quilt #2... and so I did. Or at least started it. Hopefully the top will be finished by next week's video.
