[robynbird]

Tabby that's beautiful!

[forines13]

Judi love the bold colours you have chosen.

 

Donna your quilt is spectacular.... I love stars and as yet have not made one for myself.

 

Tabby that is beautiful.

:eek I have fallen of the perch again. I am working on my BS and a baby quilt then I am led astray by one of my UFOs. I cannot help it ... it was sitting there begging me to give it some attention. I knew that I was not going to complete it so I frogged. Initially I was going to transform it into a Around the World but then I got the urge to go Across the world. I am using the yarn from this and adding some from my stash and I like the result so far. I have to admit I tend to favour the "mish mash" effect of the colours and I am hoping to make this large enough for a double bed. this is what I put together last night and I now want to work on this rather than my BS. It is the wee hours of the morning here and I will begin the square dance again. The photo is not the best ... I will post one on Friday and try and take it in daylight.

[robynbird]

I like that forines13!

[JulieKay]

Tabby -very cute ! I like your afghan so far !

 

Ines- that is so neat. i have never heard of the Across the World . Is there an online picture of one so I can see it complete ?

[forines13]

Julie do not quote me .... I made up that name. I must look up my quilting books to see if that diagonal look has a name. I just thought it appropriate to call it Across the World as I am not going round and round. As for an on line pic ... do not know. All I am doing is working my squares from corner to corner.

[judianne]

Tabby, that's a cute look:c9 ..what colors are you using?

 

And Forines...the red, white and blue...well, I'm all about bright colors when it's for me:D

[judianne]

...PS... I love your bold diagonal! Great colors!!

[forines13]

thanks judianne. It has now taken on a slightly different note as I have added some bright yellow ... amazing how one colour can change the way the colours speak. I am considering electric blue but that may dominate. I always tend to use the vibrant colours and I prefer the scrappy look although I do at times co-ordinate.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Thanks everyone! It is a tad bit little girlish but it's different from my usual so I think that's why I like it. I'm using mainstays off-white, pink var., pink & purple. The colors are pretty bright. I'm using RH lt. sage for the leaf round.

 

 

Ines~Very pretty.

[judianne]

I am SOOOOO in the mood for a brightly colored project!! But I have to stop falling off the perch...I'm too easily influenced by the gorgeous work I see here! You gals are ly clever!!

Back to my massive to-do list:P

[QueenOfCrochet]

Judi~That's how I felt, that's why I chose such bright girly colors. I have 4 boys & never get to use the girly pinks & purples plus there so bright. I never use colors like this and it actually is more motivating to do because it's so different from my norm. Oh boy, do I understand the big to do list problem too. I currently have 3 ghans & 1 doily on the fire and several unfinished ghans in the closet that are begging for my attention also.

[ChayaSar]

Tabby, that is so funny to me about you wanting to work with girly colors. I LOVE working with the deep blues and more masculine colors because I have 3 girls, and 2 neices and only 1 nephew so I almost NEVER get to use boyish colors.

[q8_crochet]

all of your work ladeis are beautiful

keep working

can`t wait to see them all when are done

[QueenOfCrochet]

Thank you Athba!

 

 

Ada~I know isn't that so funny. I always work with the blues, greens & neutral colors. This is such a change & pleasure for me.

[JulieKay]

Hi ladies

 

Tabby- it sounds like you are enjoying your adventure with new colors. Sometimes that's a good motivator if you feel yourself getting a little sluggish about your crochet enthusiasm. If you can find a new or different color to try, that's al it takes .

[QueenOfCrochet]

Julie~Yep, it just took some good shopping & new colors to bring my spirit up.

[Aussie]

:eek Initially I was going to transform it into a Around the World but then I got the urge to go Across the world.

 

Wow Forines that looks great. You are very inventive to go across the world instead of round it...
