sadietoo Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I love your painted glass Purple Tree...I always get in a sticky mess as soon as paint is involved I'm still catching up with a load of knitting requests. The last for my DS was a "cool hat" Ravelry came to the rescue and although I don't have a photo of it in situ, apparently it is much admired at college. The pattern is "Wurm" and I followed it exactly. It's good and slouchy... oh and very easy or I wouldn't have coped with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I forgot to post pictures of the patchwork quilt i made for my Mum's birthday last month. It was supposed to be a lap quilt, but ended up massive, so will cover a double bed http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mdwodzWeTi0/TRya7HEPiFI/AAAAAAAABPM/TsGx_0Xegvk/s1600/QUILTFRONT.JPG http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mdwodzWeTi0/TRycGPn_ysI/AAAAAAAABPU/TXkilcDs1A4/s1600/QUILTBACK.JPG It is my no means perfect and I liked the idea of quilting in tramlines at the time, but it was so fiddly and took my hours to do! Mum loved it though and it is kept in the lounge on the sofa (unless she gets it out every time I visit ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Thanks glad you like the hanging I really like your painted glass. I had a go at making some with Snowy and the mob when we met up for Omletstock 3. Mine was a bit of a mess but keep meaning to have another go. How did you get the idea about how to decorate the button jar. It's very effective. My friend mentioned a button jar, she thought it would be popular if I ever got my online shop up & running (she's a knitter & crochet genius, she also hand dyes yarn, so she knows these things ). While we were chatting it dawned on me that buttons come in all sorts of shapes & sizes. Then I thought I'd put 'buttons' on it, so there would be no doubt what they were meant to be or what the jar is meant to be for Glad you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJuff Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I've been very good and have finished off my Christmas cushions for next year!!!!

AJuff Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'm feeling very crafty at the moment so I've been busy crocheting a dishcloth today which was finished in no time. I've also taken up a pair of work trousers I bought back in October! I've one or two more Christmas bits and bobs to finish then I'm starting knitting a love bod!
