Yesterday at New York Botanical Gardens.

liberty of london pajama shorts for me

I sewed up a pair of pajama shorts last week. It was a useful item to choose as I needed some new ones and I wanted them to be really pretty. Isn't this fabric gorgeous? I already want to make another and know now where I can tweak the pattern to make them even more suited to my taste.

star quilt in natural dyed muslin

This week I told myself I would finish a quilt. I've a few sitting around.

I had done the quilting by machine several weeks ago but, regretted it and needed to do some unpicking along the border which is why it was sitting around. I know I am not alone with the regret of not hand quilting. It would have been effective since I found it difficult to keep the lines straight with this one. I think in this case even hand piecing the squares would have been a good idea since the stars did not align for me perfectly. So, it's sort of an oops and sort of not. I still think it's pretty even if it's imperfect. It's not a big quilt and it's just the right size for Scarlet to snuggle with. She likes it so and it was for her.

knit bobble bloomers

I made up these knit shorts/bloomers in a size 5/6. Not sure who they are being given to but, I was sick a few weeks ago and needed a tiny project. Love the little bobbles and the i cord tie. The pattern is from Paelas and I knit them in MadelineTosh vintage yarn.
