One Sock Done – One to Go

Posted by Brye Lynn on Aug 29, 2011 in Knitting

I finally finished the first sock of the Snicket Socks I am making for my Sister.  I am still unsure about the size.  They fit me perfectly, but I am pretty sure my sister’s feet are bigger.  Hopefully, they will stretch for her.

Gator Quilt is Sandwich’d – Ready to Quilt

Posted by Brye Lynn on Aug 24, 2011 in Quilting

I am entering the home stretch.  The Gator quilt is finally ready to quilt.

This quilt is being made without batting; just the quilt top and the fleece backing.  Sandwiching it was not fun and very hard to get flat.  When I am doing this, I generally use my hands and do a lot of flattening [...]

The Dustin Update

Posted by Brye Lynn on Aug 22, 2011 in Uncategorized

I can’t brag about Morgan without talking about Dustin.  It wouldn’t be fair and I can’t love one more than the other.  You know what I am saying.
Anyway – as proud as I am of Morgan, I am 100 times prouder of my son.  This has been a great year with him.  He is finally [...]

Quilt Marking is FINALLY Done

Posted by Brye Lynn on Aug 20, 2011 in Marking

Today, I finally finished marking the quilting on the entire Gator Quilt.  I ended up using a combination of two marking tools.

Bohin chalk pencil for the orange and blue sections
Quilter’s Silver Marking Pencil for the white areas

I marked the quilt before I sandwiched it because I wanted to quilt it in the “Gators”  and “University [...]

Morgan’s Doily

Posted by Brye Lynn on Aug 18, 2011 in Crochet

A few month ago my 17 year old niece had a baby (don’t get me started on that). As a baby gift, I made her a few pairs of baby booties (sorry, I didn’t take pictures).
Crocheting the booties made me realize how much I enjoy crocheting with thread. I could have sat there [...]

Posted by Brye Lynn on Aug 16, 2011 in Notions

Have you seen these pens for sale at your local quilt shop?
Well the first time I saw them and saw them demonstrated, my mouth dropped open and I had to have them. I didn’t care about the price.
What they are is a regular ink pen. They are made to write on paper. [...]

Little Brown Bird

Posted by Brye Lynn on Aug 14, 2011 in Applique, Quilting

I have decided that Little Brown Bird by Margart Docherty will be my next applique project.
After my magazine review podcast I heard from Errin telling me all about this pattern and where I can buy the CD.  I immediately ordered it, but when it came it, I knew that I would need more than just [...]
