Dumpling Bag

The pattern is in Fall 2008 Interweave Knits. It is a cute bag but I would rather knit with smaller needles. This uses size 13 needles. Oh, my aching hands.

It is a beautiful fall day. It was 38 degrees this morning, the coolest weather we have had here in Georgia for quite a long time. We actually have the heat on. But the leaves seem to be falling without turning anything except dull brown. We have not had enough rain.

October apron

A good use for some of my fabric stash. I wear aprons for cooking and need some new ones. Ths one has pumpkin fabric for the top trim with 2 cat buttons. I added the pumpkin applique. The pattern is Butterick B4945.

pillow shams

This is a combination of many quilt blocks that I had finished but never done anything with. So I decided to make pillow shams. Fun to do and used up some materials lying around in the way.

My plan is to use lots of the materials I already have for useful projects.

clothespin bag

My friend Linda told me how to make this clothespin bag. It is a little boy's size 5T shirt. Just sew up the bottom and you have a clothespin bag. Cute. Got the shirt at a rummage sale for $2.00.
