Oh no, not another one


I thought that I was done making scarves but another one just demanded to be made. I made somewhere between 40 and 50 scarves this winter and gave most of them away. I kept a couple as my own. Anyway, here it is nearly completed. It still needs some braid. It's folded so you can see the bottom fringe and trim that lays on the shoulder.

The last day of 2008


Well here we are wrapping up 2008 and welcoming 2009. Posting some twinchies that I did this month. These are little 2 inch by 2 inch miniature quilts that will be used on a doll to be auctioned at the spring doll conference (Creations in Fiber) in May. Of course you all know about my obsession with scarves in December but everybody loved them and we had the perfect weather to use them. So wishing each of you a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!!!!

Linda's last small quilt


The December meeting is the end of secret sisters for 2008 so here is the last small quilt for Linda. I have made one for her each month and an extra because it was just fun. This is a photo of some of us on our way to a holiday luncheon. I'm in the middle holding the doll which is part of a traveling RR.

Almost finished



My current obsession is almost finished. Here are the rest of the scarves. These are all made of fleece and the ones for the girls are embellished with Saworski crystals. They don't show in the photos.

Well, you'd think that was enough already but no, here are some more scarves and I'm also making the fleece scarves. Would you guess that everyone is getting a scarf for Christmas??

last details




So here is the final sample scarf. It is quite simple with only decorative top stitching and fringe at the bottom for the sophisticated look.

And the final beading on the art quilt and finished gift box.

this year's scarves



Just so you don't think that I've been sitting around twiddling my thumbs. Here are samples of the scarves that I'll be teaching as the end of the year project for our quilt club.
