painting and knitting and quilting?

I’ve been a painting fool. The last of the wallpaper is gone from my house..and so is the baby blue carpeting! Photos to follow..

Been knitting trying to make something in time for the summer. I’m trying (again) to make a garment for myself. In the past, I’m better making things that are not size specific as my gauge can be all over the place.

I received an email from English Yarns for the new Kim Hargreaves Misty Book and I’m trying to resist buying this new book. Some of my favorites:

I’ve discovered Modern Quilt Guild and this fantastic pattern: Mixtape Quilts. The pattern is so well written with great photos to put even the first time quilter at ease. My problem is always the fabric selection but I think I can handle this one as it’s not too busy. Here’s a blog post with a sample.
