Perpetual Calendar. There is one pattern on each page with a beautiful clear colored photo of a swatch done in that stitch. What a neat way to practice and learn.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kudos for my new quilting project(s).<BR/><BR/>I am having fun playing with the new free motion device that lets me free style sew on top of the quilt. Not sure if I am making a mess or something very artistic. LOL Yeah sure!Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069433582032233420.post-13379561053854958642007-08-27T21:17:00.000-07:002007-08-27T21:17:00.000-07:003 or 4 months??? wow! the colors and the corners l...3 or 4 months??? wow! the colors and the corners look so great.<BR/>your grandkids are sure lucky to have such an attentive and talented grandmere.<BR/>I have to get to the point where knitting is easy.. i still have to pay too much attention for it to be very relaxing.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08461345309045207169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069433582032233420.post-29673474490982524882007-08-27T09:34:00.000-07:002007-08-27T09:34:00.000-07:00Lisa, thanks for treading new waters...(me too act...Lisa, thanks for treading new waters...(me too actually as this is my first attempt at blogging).<BR/><BR/>Compare knitting to quilting?<BR/>Whew. So very different things.<BR/>Once I learned to knit it became very relaxing to do. Sit in an easy chair, kick back, knit. Well, you have to follow patterns of course it's not THAT easy. But quilting seems a whole new venue.<BR/>A lot of on your feet work, cutting, measuring fabric. Piecing it together. Then the sewing of course can be a long process. I'm using a machine, and now the free style motion device. It's all fun for me.<BR/><BR/>It's fun to pick out pretty yarns and it's fun to pick out fabrics too!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your kudos. I've been doing it for about three or four months!Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069433582032233420.post-11514483310456929932007-08-27T08:20:00.000-07:002007-08-27T08:20:00.000-07:00OK, Lynn, I am going into uncharted territory here...OK, Lynn, I am going into uncharted territory here... be still my heart!<BR/><BR/>I can't believe how your quilts look. They are just amazing. It looks like you have been doing it for years! I have another friend who is a knitter/quilter. How do you compare the two crafts?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08461345309045207169noreply@blogger.com
