With all the game playing and museum visiting you wouldn’t think we would have had time to get much accomplished….but just look at all the great projects we made. We quilted, crocheted, knitted, make rugs, and more! We are a creative, fun-loving group! Can you tell???!!!! We can’t wait till the next one!

I’ve missed several days of posting here as I was out of town for our sixth Stitch & Bitch Retreat out at Shenandoah River State Park. We always have such a great time. We sew, crochet, knit, eat, drink, share ideas and play games. The games are a highlight. We play “Strip” Poker using jelly roll strips and the winner gets a ton of them and has to make something and then share. Sometimes it’s scary to win. LOL! We played Left, Right, Center and the winner got to choose from a ton of great sewing/quilting prizes. And you can tell by the photos that there was a lot of joking and laughing going on.

A few weeks ago my friend Jackie gave me this beautiful crochet item. It appeared to be 4 placemats crocheted from crochet thread . My grandmother used to work with crochet thread but I have never been able to work with such small stuff. But I do love how it looks so I was thrilled when Jackie gave these to me. I sewed them together to make a table runner and it looks so pretty and happy. Thanks Jackie for thinking of me with this beautiful gift of craftsmanship. It’s just lovely!!!!

I love this Everyday Blanket stitch. Just finished this one and it’s a great one for those who have a hard time keeping count and always comes out with an even edge. And this simple border sets it off just right. For those who need help getting a good straight line, watch for this class coming soon.

Just completed this sweet crocheted blanket for a friend. Hope to get it to her this week. Crocheting is a relaxing pass time. I mostly crochet while watching TV. We have a beginning and an advanced class coming up at The Studio. Click here to see more info and register.

The 12-Point Star is a great crochet pattern for baby blankets and lap throws…and it’s not at all difficult to do. We’ll set a class up soon for this one and a few other patterns for those who are interested in adding some new patterns to their list of things to make.

Do you start projects that you sometimes don’t get back to finishing for a year or two? Well I do!!! This is one of them. Last January (2019) when I was cat sitting for some friends I took this yarn to work on while watching TV with Peanut and Clyde. Don’t you love those names? Well, fast forward to January 2020 and I was cat sitting again and remembered what I had worked on so I pulled it out this week and pieced it together. I really like the look. Glad to finish it …. finally! Now on to other projects sitting in the closet.
