Machine Knitting

I managed to finish the back of my sweater. It seemed to take forever and I did learn a few things along the way. 

I pinned it to my dress so I could see how it might look. The next step is the front of the sweater. So much more neck shaping for a sweater front. Wish me luck.

Puzzling

I must admit I don't remember if I picked this up at a shop or from other puzzling friends. 

It was a fun one!

Quilts for Kids: October

Saturday I dropped off 18 quilts for binding, some batting scraps for bags, and 5 pieced tops. 

I also picked up 18 quilts for quilting and stack of new fabrics to keep working on piecing. That should keep me busy until November's meeting.
