I didn’t work on my quilt either, and part 3 has been posted. I copy them and throw them on my sewing
6 pieces of fabric and Vogue Knitting
cabinet. Speaking of sewing, I went to Dover this afternoon. I bought 10 yards of Warm and Natural batting. It was half price. Then it broke the fabric reader, so the clerk had to write everything out by hand. Here’s what I bought. The stuff on the left is denim with a gold snakeskin design on it—-good for making “guy”containers. Now that certain men in my life have figured out that I can make covers for pretty much anything, I have to keep appropriate fabric handy. The cherries is going to be placemats and the rest is quilting projects.
I buy Vogue Knitting once or twice a year. Whenever I subscribe, the magazine gets awful so I just pick one up occasionally.
I did a little knitting. I got out some hand spun yarn I bought at MD Sheep & Wool about 15 years ago and made swatches. I am trying to decide which looks best. It’s 100% wool in a soft yellow, green, orange combination. I’ve looked at several patterns, but I haven’t settled on one thing yet.

I don’t subscribe to knitting magazines. I like to flip through them and buy the occasional one if I see something that I like. I have quite a collection of them. It is fun to go back through them and watch the styles change.
