broken dishes quilt

Week 15 of 2024 from Thread Head

Mainly knitting this week, but I did press and trim more of the blocks that at sew at a monthly makers get together -

Now there are 54 Broken Dishes blocks (I need 218 total now because I decided to make a smaller quilt).

I finished spinning the fibre batt that I made from a local wool and our dog's fur.

79g of worsted weight tweed Chiengora yarn.

And knit a hat with it - a very quick knit. This one is for my son - Molly is his dog.

I am amazed how soft the yarn turned out, and the hat ...

I sewed another skirt this ...

Design Wall Monday - November 4, 2019 from Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

Remember this quilt? It has 1,300 broken dishes "blocks" in it, and each broken dishes "block" has four hsts, so eight small pieces of fabric there. Each hst finishes at 1 inch, so the four hsts that compose a broken dishes "block" finish at 2 in. x 2 in. Here's another picture from when I was starting to make it: The binding has been completed on it this week. This one is 100
