I have done cross stitch while driving to or from Ohio. For us that use to be a 10 1/2 hr drive. I have addressed our Christmas letters/cards many times on our trip back there for Christmas. I have also put the back half of my binding on during the car ride. Always have something to keep me awake for at least half the trip.

I have knit hundreds of baby hats but it gets boring. I think I'll do some hand quilting with buttons!
|
I bought templates from Hoopla for the Elizabeth Green quilt. I think it's in the Shelburne in VT. Froncie Quinn is licensed to sell templates of their antiques.
http://www.hooplapatterns.com The fabrics are marked on the wrong side for hand sewing. I'm doing it in repro mid-1880s blues and brown with the constant center square of mustard. I was making it for myself , a double. My 17 yr old grandson loved it, so am now making it a queen for an eventual wedding quilt or when he turns 25 if not married. I've done 75 blocks, don't need too many more as it has sashing. I also carry English paper piecing project for when I need a break from EG. |
I also bring along redwork to hand embroider. Now that I have made enough blocks for a quilt, I'm starting on blue work!
|
I never heard of blue work. Same idea, only blue?
|
English paper piece, GFG. Those 3/4" hexagons are keeping me busy!

My Granny did blackwork and cutwork, redwork seems to be more popular now, but the blackwork hasn't seemed to have had a comeback? Anyone do blackwork?
|
I can see that I need to take up English paper piecing.
