Hard
to believe that it is already August and we’ll be preparing for the holidays
soon.
It
is either raining or extremely hot here.
Today it was the heat so I stayed in and put together this little guy.
The
pattern is October Scare by The Wooden Bear Quilt Designs. This was my quilt shop purchase that I told
you about last week. I think the candy
corn fabric is my favorite J
I
decided to hoop him to hand stitch his eyebrows and the spider's legs. I used
two strands of black DMC embroidery floss and also stitched around the spiders
and BOO.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I
also started Mom’s scarf that I told you about last week. Take a look at this yarn.
It’s EROS II from Plymouth Yarn
Company. I’ve never worked with anything
like it before but I love it.
It’s
surprisingly easy to handle and I’m using a set of the Knitter’s Pride Dreamz
needles that Mom gifted me. The scarf
will finish at 3” x 50” with a ‘flare’ at each end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This
is going to be a busy week for me. I’m
covering for one of my co-workers while she is on vacation so this will make my
days go fast. In the evening’s I’ll be
cleaning out closets, drawers, our shed, etc. to prepare for a garage sale next
weekend. Ugh! Wish me luck L
Even
though I won’t accomplish much in the way of stitchery this week, I hope you
do!
Have
a wonderful week friends J

So many beautiful projects going on all at once !
I don't envy you - garage sales are so much work...we have only had two and that was enough !
Love your new yarn. ;)

Wonderful work
My favorite - a Halloween quilt! He's so cute, Jeanna! Your holiday quilt is really coming along, too! I should have joined in on this one! Love the yarn - I've never knitted with anything like it, either - good to know it knits easily. Have a good week and a great garage sale - we've had several and although they're a lot of work, it's so nice to clean out and start anew!
Cheers!
Great stuff, Jeanna. Good luck with your clearing out! :o)
Wow gonna be busy? Looks like you've definitely been busy being creative. Cute Cute.

When you are finished cleaning out things,I have a few closets that you can tackle for me lol...love the quilts..the yarn for your mom's scarf is really neat..looks like you are getting a lot accomplished! Good luck on that garage sale!! Have a great week!
I made one of the "Boo" quilts. I think I sent it to my grand-daughter. It was fun to make.
You sure have a lot going on, certainly no dull moment! I love your quilting projects and I am very envious of your knitting project. I am not very good at knitting and as a result I stay away from it. Just cannot get my stitches uniform in size. Hope you post a photo when it is completed!

The Halloween quilt is adorable! I just bought the Frixion pen but am hesitant to use it. Any advice?
