These days I sort of prefer knitting. I'm working on new pair of socks. This is where I'm at.
Simple, easy, calming activity. Plus if I don't have the needles in hand I fall asleep while watching TV, lol.
And I have big news to share. My Paint Drips won first prize in Quilter's Mixology SAL. I don't think it would make it without Monika's quilting. So I gave the EQ7 program to her. She was so thrilled and happy. She took part in the SAL as well and her quilt was nothing short of awesome. You can find more pics on her flickr account.
Isn't that a great modern Christmas quilt?
That's all folks. When you don't have anything to share, share the work of someone else, LOL.
One tip for you all. Have you heard about Google Keep? Oh how I love lists and ticking off. Do it all online. Nice a neat! Thank you all for your supportive comments, I'm yet to reply ....
Congratulations! Nice to see a Czech winner!
ReplyDeleteWOO! Congrats! That's so generous of you. You both are amazing quilters! I love that ornament quilt. Love love love.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win! That was nice of you to share your winnings to your quilter! I think the long armers quilters are often overlooked in quilt competitions!
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to participate in the QAL but I thought it came up at short notice and didn't run for very long to give people a chance when I think most of us have busy lists of things to do already! :( The ornament quilt is one of my faves from the book and that quilting is so amazing!
Vera! Congratulations on your win - that's fantastic! Very nice of you to give your quilter your prize - I bet she's thrilled :) Your socks are coming along nicely - just in time for the cold weather :) I can't knit a stitch, but I know your feet will be warm and happy when they're in their new toasty home!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hadn't heard of Google Keep - I love lists and keeping track of things - I particularly love crossing items off of lists, lol. I'm giving GK a try now - I just added my first note - a list of the items I want to include in the fox Christmas gift I'm starting tomorrow :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Vera, and how awesome of you to pass on the prize to Monika! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win Vera - it really is a gorgeous quilt :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely win Vera - great that you shared - quilting is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYay Vera!!! Congrats on your big win!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning and that is so awesome of you to share with Monika, her work was also just as outstanding, can't believe she didn't place second or third. But really big Congratulations on your new job, so excited for you, good luck.
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked into my bloggy friends for a while ... things have been busy in my home life (in a good way) - but look at you knitting! Is there no skill you haven't mastered yet? and two socks on the one needle - I've never seen this before! Last time I tried knitting ... well probably best I don't horrify you! Congratulations on your win and you are a lovely friend to give away your prize. Your friends quilting is truly inspiring :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. I love the quilting on your friend's Christmas quilt. Enjoy your knitting.
ReplyDeletewell done Vera on your win. And well done on the socks, I love knitting socks.
ReplyDeleteI need to get back into knitting more often, especially while watching Netflix. Also, congratulations! That is such a beautiful and unique quilt. I love anything rainbow.
