Lucky penny and gooses!

Camping season is upon us and we often have the most unusual 'finds'.

You might think this penny is ancient but it is either from the 1990's or 1980's.

I started crocheting socks again. 

They are a great smaller project to take along when camping.

I am making these for myself. 

On the design wall in the studio we have several projects in the works. 

I'm making blue blocks for a blue themed quilt.

The black and tan blocks in the lower left are for our guild's 2022

Mystery Quilt Challenge.

For May 1st I did a May basket on my embroidery project.

While camping, this little fella decided to hitchhike with me:

I've never seen such a small tick.

I made these flowers after seeing a photo of them on my friend Jaye's blog:

Leaf by leaf I keep adding bits and pieces to my project:

A quilt top has been completed for our guild's community service quilts. This is made from what is called our "Orphan Block Challenge." Everyone turns in fabric or blocks and I organize it into quilt tops. Some of them are quite busy, like this one:

We're camping again this weekend. It's been five years since we've been to this state park. I don't know why we haven't come back to it before! It's lovely to be so close to the water. These geese are floating by. There are turtles on the floating logs. The Mister even saw a huge blue crane. 

That's it for this week. It's super hot out and being near the water has been wonderful. I hope you all have a great weekend too! Happy Crafting Y'all

All kinds of stitches!

I have several crochet projects going on right now. 

This will become a cardigan. (I hope)

I'm still stitching along with the embroidery project.

 I made a snail in the garden.

This is one of the Orphan Block Challenge quilts in progress. I've done some of the work but guild members also volunteer to help. I am auditioning the next border color on my design wall here:

 

I was poking around on one of the market place sites the other day and snagged this electric yarn winder for a super good price! It even came with two HUGE totes full of more yarn. Like fabric for quilters, us 'hookers' can't really have too much yarn, can we?

We went camping and really enjoyed our family time together. 

One of the dogs' tails seemed to help us play cards! hahahaha

These were guild challenge blocks at our last meeting.

There are two types here. I'm just sharing so I can prove I still do some quilting stuff.

                                           

This yarn is so pretty. 

The photo just doesn't do justice to how vibrant the colors are.

I am making a shawl with it:

Look what happens in the dark!!!  

No, it isn't glowing. It is reacting to the TV's light. I think this is so cool!

We celebrated a very quiet Easter this year. 

No kids meant no hiding baskets of candy. I did enjoy putting up my tree though.

Last, but not least, I am pulling fabrics for the upcoming 

Mystery Quilt Challenge at my guild. Since I am presenting it, 

I figured I probably should actually MAKE it too! 

I saw this in a crochet group I follow and since I am also a classic rock lover, I had to share. 

No, really, I HAD to!

 

That's all for now folks! 

Thank you for visiting my blog.
