UFOs

Here are a few UFOs (Un-Finished Objects) I thought I'd go ahead and post, since it may be a while since I finish them.

This is a simple pinwheel pattern I made with a few fabrics I couldn't resist but didn't know what I was going to do with them. The main pinwheels are made from Heather Ross' "Lightning Bugs and Other Mysteries" line for Free Spirit, and the background is just yellow scraps I had on hand:



Another pinwheel pattern made with scraps of Aunt Gracies and other vintage-inspired children's prints:



A couple of my version of "Turning Twenty" - the original pattern makes really huge blocks, so I halved them and quite like the result:





And finally: the Hexagon Hex! This is as far as I've gotten on this charm quilt, but I'm excited that it's coming together. The fabrics are (mostly) from April Cornell's "Poetry" collection for Moda:

The Case for Needles

Here are some knitting needle cases I made, using the pattern from Debbie Stoller's "Stitch 'n' Bitch"

This one is mine:








This one was a birthday gift for my good friend and old roommate Alicia:

Life, Don't Talk to Me About Life

Ooh, life with a toddler means long stretches between posting. But not long stretches between stitching! (As long as she gets to sit on my lap and "help".) Many projects to photograph and post. Stay tuned!
