    Hi Everyone. I recognize some of you from the bonfire.  FK has been trying to get me to come here for quite some time.  I have been lurking and really been too busy to post.  

    I also crochet, so Swedish Weaving, quilt and do lots of reading.  I have a Swedish Weaving project going now and  hope to finish it soon.  I have a quilt waiting for me to start.

    proudtospin - Swedish Weaving is also known as Swedish Embroidery or Huck Embroidery.  It is done on monks cloth which you purchase by the yard and done with yarn.  You can make so many things with it including afghans, table runners, placemats, etc  Google it!  It really is fun to do.  I work on mine while watching TV and have end worked on it when taking long trips in the car.

    Ducky - Am I supposed to be scared???  NOT!!!!  Don't let FK get to you.  You know she loves to pick on you.

    PTS----ignorance is bliss

    In those days I thought Komen was the cats ass

    And then the PINKWASHING begun

    The rest is history

    BTW the other side of the quilt is purple dragon flies

    Yes it's reversable.

    I was more than halfway through making that quilt for FK and then I find out she HATES PINK!  Oh well, I finished it and mailed it to her anyway.  Talk about shutting someone up - I sure did when she opened the box.  She had no idea I was doing this.

    proudtospin - Swedish weaving is so fun and relaxing.  You should put it on your to do list.

    JoJo. Love the Swedish afghan.  I really should learn how to do that.  Right after I finish every other project that I have started..  Ha ha. No seriously it is beautiful.  So is the quilt you made for Firecracker..

    The Swedish afghan is so nice. I'll have to show that to my DD.

    You're all so crafty. 

    That quilt is lovely Jo. I wish I had the dexterity for quilting.

    Kracker, I've said it before and I'll say it again....you look good in pink.

    Thanks everyone.  Ya'll are so very sweet.  

    Slow - If you can sew a straight line, you can make quilts.  They are much easier than you think.  I taught myself to quilt about 14 years ago and love making them.  I give the majority of them away.

    Proudtospin - This is another Swedish Weaving project.  I just finished this one tonight.  This one was really fun and simple to do.
