Marsha's Projects Foundation Blanket: I chose to make the Cross Bar Check blanket using Harrisville wool in the colors Loden Blue and Mustard. Need to make fringe and wash.

Dimity, Diaper, Damask Blanket: I wove a blanket using 5 colors of warp and a single color of weft. I wove a bird's eye twill which falls in the Diaper category. Need to make fringe and wash.

Trillium Lake by Kay Hopkins: Using Queensland Collection Coastal Cotton Fine. I'm so close to finishing. Finished the second sleeve but there are two to many rows and it looks odd. Need to rip back.

Spindrift Shawl by Helen Stewart. Using by handspun from a braid by Alexandra Art of Yarn

Mellow Mood Top: by Julia Piro. Using Queensland Collection Eco Twist in the colorway Crimson Canyon. Not going to make it. Can't face another cotton tee right now.

Socks: Using Madeline Tosh sock in the colorway Plum Tree. Finished first sock and cast on second.

Silver Bags: Sewing bags with pacific cloth to protect silver. Sounds posh. 😉Experimenting with the embroidery feature on Bernina to make a label to identify contents.

Patio Furniture Pads: I have finished four round cushions for metal chairs and the cover for the chaise lounge pad. I removed the fabric from the wood folding chairs and washed them with TSP. Next is to sand, prime and final paint color. I save the fabric from one chair to use as a pattern.

Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress.
