Crazy Patchwork Cross Stitch Part 2

Hello again everyone!
It's Sunday, which means it's time for the next installment of my SAL.

First off, here is my interpretation of part one.



And now for part two. This is designed to fit just under part one beside the little line of purple. Sorry, there is nothing to go along the side of this, so have fun adding a small border or solid blocks under the purple part.  Again, have fun with the colors!

Random Patchwork SAC Part 1

Hello again!
I have begun work on a crazy patchwork cross stitch piece and have decided to share my pattern with everyone as a stitch-a-long! Here is part one.


The idea of this piece is to have fun with it. each block is worked in whatever color you decide on. Add stipes, chevrons, flowers, or random swirls. Add or remove lines to create your own pattern, or keep up with everyone else.

I'll post a picture of my own work with part two next week, so as not to spoil your own creative juices.

Have Fun!

A Long Overdue Post

Well, it has been a long time since I last updated this old blog. Hello again to everyone! I have been very busy crafting lately.

Let's start with some fun crafts I've done, then I'll post about some things I'm working on for Christmas. Warning! If you are a member of my family who wishes not to know what those projects are, please skip the end of this post! First up, a lovely snood I made for my 10 year old sister.
Next is an early birthday gift for my 11 month old sister, who will turn one on July 4th.
And the final fun project is some Amigarumi Kitties that I found Here I have named the Blue/brown one Maximus and the pink/purple one Kitty.
And now to Christmas! Here are two finished shells for some hats with a third in progress.
And some material that I found on sale at Hancock Fabric for a no sew fleece blanket. Not sure when I'll have time to work on it, but at least I have it when I am ready.
