Finished at last!

progress

 I've been working on this shawl lately.  I didn't get as much sewing finished over the weekend as I wanted to finish the colorwork on the shawl.  Plus I just felt really knitty.

This poor photo shows my additions to the quilt.  I got the blue and white stripes on and started cutting out star blocks.  I need 28 star blocks!

two borders down

My goal for the weekend was to get these two borders on.  Then last evening I started cutting blue and white fabric for the stripes. Most of the fabric I'm using for this project is from my Jo Morton stash.  I'll keep doing that tonight.  Maybe even start sewing them together if I'm not too tired. . .

The Eagle. . .

I finally got started on my nephew's quilt that I promised I would make him when he finished his Eagle Scout.  I'm combining two quilt patterns and I was really intimidated by this Eagle applique.  I did go back and add another layer of white fabric for the tail feathers and the head.  I felt like the backing was showing through too much.

Thirties Ramonas

Aren't these blocks adorable?  I think I like them better than the Civil War repro baskets.  New block next Saturday . . .

Anniversary Socks

Finally finished DH's anniversary socks.  It took forever to knit these!  I started a new shawl immediately after I stitched up the second toe.
I'll post a pic of that after I get a little farther on it.

more Ramona

These are my April and May Ramona blocks.  I really am enjoying these baskets.  We have another Ramona day on Saturday so I will be making another block them for June.
