Recently made these two fabric postcards for friends. This one is approx 5.5 in X 7.5 in. It was machine appliqued and quilted. The edges were zigzagged.
This one is approx 5.5 in X 7.25 in. It was machine appliqued and quilted. The edges were finished with binding.
I needed a big project to work on this winter so I text my nephew and ask if he needed an afghan as a house warming gift. He purchased his first home in the fall of 2020. He said sure and approved the color and pattern. It was a good project to work on especially during the ice/ snow storm in February. The pattern is Charette by Julie Turjoman. The yarn is Valley Yarns Haydenville Bulky in light gray. It took me approx 2 months to knit working on it in the evenings while I watched TV. The finished size is approx 55 in X 74 in. My nephew is well over 6 ft tall.
As mentioned in my last post I have continued to knit and quilt during my unintended hiatus. I knit this dog sweater for a friend's approx 5 lb dog in January. I don't recall the pattern and will have to search for it if I ever want to make the dog another sweater. It was a perfect use of some leftover bulky yarn.
