Matter can neither be created nor destroyed « »
…only changed into another form.
I bought SO much flannel a few months ago, did nothing with it, and it’s been taking up room on my yarn shelves! A few weeks ago, I started cutting it all into 4″ squares and doing some patchwork.
Basically, I’m cutting my fabric into little pieces and sewing it back together into bigger pieces. The fabric is then going from being stored on one set of shelves to another set of shelves…but somehow it still feels like I’m accomplishing something.
None of the quilts’ corners are perfect, and the one with the long stripes is intentionally sort of crazy. The red one and the long-stripe one are both backed with flannel and the batting is a bamboo / organic cotton. The other one isn’t lined (but *is* backed in flannel,) and is perfect for the nights we’ve been having this summer.
And here’s Mazie playing with some blocks I made out of MORE 4″ squares.
Here’s some knitting, too!
These are two really cute sweaters that Yahaira made for Mazie. She LOVES them!! (I don’t know what’s up with the color in these photos, but the sweaters are AWESOME!!)
AND, my friend Sarah is having a baby in October, and this soaker’s for her. (It’s a pattern that I made up when I was doing all of Mazie’s.)
It’s knit from 100purewool that I dyed.

I grew up in Las Cruces and I swear you live in my old house! That backyard looks so familiar. Your pictures brought back so many wonderful memories of trying to get our clothes in before a thunderstorm. Oh, and the smell of the rain! Kinda makes me homesick. Thanks for the memories. I also love your knitting, too!
