American Fancies

Whoohoo!!! I just pulled up my last loop on American Fancies. 

The colors are much richer than this, but this was the best I could do in artificial lighting tonight.

This one was started last year at Caraway in Jeanne Benjamin's class. The pattern is an adaptation of an antique by Eric Sandberg.

Why does this always happen when you finish a rug?

Now to get it blocked and ready to bind at retreat next week.

This week has been a hodgepodge of projects.  I prepped enough background honeycombs for the remaining four finished Lucy Boston blocks. I also got three Lucy blocks and 4 Little Gem blocks cut

out. These are the Little Gems that I haven't posted yet.

And these Six Pointed stars...

I also finished the redwork on Santa #4, although I am thinking that I really need to add some names to his "Nice"list.....like maybe mine. Just kidding....or not;-)

I recently won this great pattern from Norma Whaley over at Timeless Traditions. Have been wanting to do something with orange peels, and I think this is the perfect choice.

Also got this little giftie from Minnick and Simpson.

I have never tried a Hera marker. No excuse now not to give it a go.

There is more, but it is late and I am tired.

Take care,

Jennie
