Brenda, here is JulieB.'s ghan - isn't it gorgeous?

 

Wow! That is gorgeous! Thank you for taking the time to search for it for me.

[indigo]

Mary- your projects are wonderful!

 

That ghan of Julie's is stunning

[Skysmom]

Thank you Judy and Daphne!

 

Brenda, you are welcome. Maybe someone else will pop in with other examples of using the variegated for squares.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Oh, I forgot, I was going to ask if anyone has used a varigated yarn for a saltine project? I have a bunch and was just wondering if anyone has.

Brenda, I used a variegated blue for part of the squares in my Lady of the Lotus quiltghan. Because my variegated was quite dark it was a little harder to work with, but I liked the effect it gave. http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p280/busy-bee-lmt/DCP_1361.jpg

[Skysmom]

Time to make some squares. DH is on one of three American flights that wasn't cancelled from San Francisco to DFW, so at least he won't have to be gone another day or two.

 

See you all tomorrow.

[Aussie]

Judy thanks.

 

Brenda howdy doody.

 

Wow JulieB's ghan is just gorgeous.

 

Just got back from shopping. I got my yarn for the butterfly ghan and I bought a nice aran color for my Card Trick Saltine pillow... Cant wait to start it.

 

Ok off to make saltines.

Evening ladies

 

Mary - Oh, oh, oh! I've been dying to see that Ohio Vari. It's off to a beautiful start

 

Thanks for the well wishes for my hip. I think all those good vibes did the trick. Doesn't hardly hurt at all now. The ice helped and I rested for 2 hours will sister and the Boy went to an appointment then did a little more shopping. I got more stuff today, I swear those credit cards were smokin'! Okay it wasn't that bad today actually. Got some gorgeous fabric to make new pillows and tiebacks for my new drapes I'm gonna make, yarn of course (), the cutest little buttons to use on a project idea I have and oh gosh I don't know what all

 

But I'm exhausted now. Gonna go see about finishing sewing this Amish lapghan together

[sweetirishct]

Two projects finished this past week! Thank you Cara and Leslie for sharing your patterns. Thank you Tabby for the border instructions.

Mary, these are beautiful! I would love to re-create the pink gingham one.. Is that allowed? Can you tell me how? I have never done a quiltghan and think this would be a great first one!

thanks!

[Titus2woman]

This thread is ALWAYS the place to come for eye candy!!!! All of your ghans are GORGEOUS!

 

I am 32 rows into my Jasie. It's not needed until July, so I'm taking my time and have stopped while I finish crocheting my daughter's Strawberry Shortcake doll for her birthday. (((((HUGS))))) sandi

Thank you so much! The gingham and lots of other patterns are on Cara's website http://www.happyyellowhouse.com The patterns are free and she loves to see what people do with colors, etc. Hope you join us!

Good morning, everyone. It's partly sunny/partly cloudy today and quite windy out. The dogwoods are blooming, as are the azaleas. The pine pollen is turning the cars yellow. I have bulbs up, but not blooming yet. John is going to a wedding tonight, so it is just Kim & I and the pets for today.

 

Hi, Sweet Irish! Welcome to the group! The gingham is a great quiltghan to start on. All of Cara's patterns are great. But some are more complicated than others.

[Skysmom]

Good Morning, all!

 

Sandi ~ That's great progress on your Jasie's ghan.

 

Cara, it seems you had a wonderful shopping day. I'm glad your hip is okay.

 

Hi Wendy - can't wait to see the butterfly ghans. That is such a cute pattern!

[crashcat07]

Cara,

 

I am doing your uptown bag, in yellow and orange, for SIL, her bday was yesterday and will be coming up here sunday to pick it up. I will send you a pic of it when finished.

 

Now if I could only figure out what colors to do that desert star, hmmmm sending it to mom and dad for christmas, she said her bedroom what a cottage white color? *HINT HINT* :hook

[Krystal16]

Cottage white? I am envisioning cornmeal, country blue and navy blue along with white. Sort of like delft with a hint of sun.

 

[crashcat07]

I am going to take that advice Krystal, actually I had the country blue in my hand yesterday. but they didnt have enough, I swear, the only place to buy yarn around here is at WAL-Mart, and then its not a very good selection. I am going into town hoping tomorrow, (50 miles away) and get all I need for everything so I dont have to go back again.

[Super Granny]

wish me luck I have a project in mind that I'm starting today that absolutely needs to be finished by June 1st... my nephew is graduating from SU school of Forestry with his Batchelor degree.. he is an avid fisherman.. I found a cross-stitch for a rainbow trout ... however he doesn't need a picture so I'm going to change into squares and make him a throw.... however I'm doing the fish in 1 round squares (it is 30 squares by 30 squares) I don't want to make a 5 foot square.. I want to place it in a surround of water done in regular saltines... think it will work?

[Misa]

Good um afternoon ladies

 

Crashcat - Oooh I'd love to see the bag in yellow and orange. That's one of my favorite color combos And I must say I agree with Krystal on the yarn colors for the blanket

 

Sweet Irish - Omigosh yes it's not only allowed it's encouraged I just love seeing what everyone comes up with

 

Busy, busy day for me Went to the PO, had my bloodwork done, hit the Dollar Tree of course and stopped at JoAnns for thread...sewing thread not crochet thread. Man has thread gotten expensive! Anyway, working on laundry and catching up on the boards and my email. Catch y'all later

Good for you, Cathy!

 

It started raining about 8 o'clock tonight. Kim went to the wedding with John. I hope the ceremony was over before the rain hit. It was an outdoor wedding. It has really been coming down and there has been quite a bit of lightening with it.

They moved the wedding inside, and it didn't start raining until after everyone was seated for the supper following the wedding. They had a great time and the service was lovely from what I hear.
