Now I am trying to decide what my next sewing project shall be. I am thinking something to help organize all my knitting needles. Which reminds me that I have a hat almost completed on some double points that I really should just get on with. <br /><br />Good for you to be ambitious enough to make quilts at all...it seems to be quite the undertaking. That said, I have been thinking of trying my hand at it as well.

And also doing the same for Toshette fingerless gloves which re so easy and quick!

This week is classic. It was my daughter's birthday last week so I sewed my butt off to get ready for it. My son's birthday is in 3 weeks which is not a sufficiently close deadline for me to get going. Should probably order the fabric though!The Provincial Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09595525404908754875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-56080636768513525932013-04-09T11:09:33.967+10:002013-04-09T11:09:33.967+10:00I always have many projects on the go.

There is a crochet blanket I started um years ago which I must get to this winter and finish, a shawl I started for myself almost halfway now, a top cut out but I haven't started too scared and a stack of fat quarters waiting to be turned into a quilt for my youngest I am going to wash them today so a step closer to starting:) I have to say I'm better with short term but it's not possible when you desire lovely blankets or quilts but if I do want some 'finish satisfaction' I crochet a dishcloth or two which always makes me happy.
