Of This and That....

My lovely blogging friend 

Melissa, of 100billionstars

generously sent me some of her

beautiful fabric 'scraps'!


I am thinking a patchwork zipper pouch 

might be pretty!

Suggestions being taken...

And more happy mail in the post box....

Rocky Mountain Puzzle bee blocks,


from Nicky and Sarah (via Nicky)- thanks ladies!

Lastly, I have a finish- my first for the quarter!


This jumper has been two+ years in the making!

I am happy to have it off the knitting needles,

and in the wardrobe!

Linking up with the 2013 F-A-L...

she can quilt

- my first for the quarter!

Happy sewing!

Those fabrics are gorgeous! So many possibilities. What great satisfaction to have completed your jumper - and still enough cold weather to wear it too.

Your 'jumper' is beautiful! What a great addition to your wardrobe. I really like the idea of a pouch. I'd say go for it!

I'm sure lovin' seeing all the Rocky Mountain Puzzle blocks you're getting. They're going to be so wonderful all together. And that jumper! Wow. What a lot of work! Love that cuddly cowl neck. I'm happy for you to have your first 3Q finish. You're ahead of me!

I'm completely impressed with your knitting. I think I made some slippers when I was in sixth grade, but I know I could NEVER make a beautiful sweater like the one you show. So lovely.
