Crochet -a- Quilt

[JulieKay]

Hi Gram

It sounds to me like a quilt ! I always forget to look at the Annies pattern unless someone mentions it, so I probably didnt see it, but it sounds very pretty and definitely like a quilt pattern . Do you have any photos to show your progress on it yet ?

I know we'd all like to see it when you get a chance . Or you could wait til Friday. That's our official photo day, but you can post one any old time you like .

We're glad to have you join us !

Heck no Julie, I changed the colors from raspberry flowers to blue flowers cause it is for my mom, and I have the 40 lt blue squares done, and 33 of the aran ones (need 162) so I haven't even really made a good dent yet. I need to figure out the 2 color squares and the v squares so I can assenble some of the flowers, at least that way I would have something to show besides zip lock baggies of squares. maybe I will work on that tonight.

Pretty please ?

Leave the other 2 sit awhile -- if you haven't even started them yet. You can go back to them later. This one is NEW --- FRESH -- EXCITING .

 

Which pattern do you like best ?

Heather, that is absolutely beautiful!

Here is a late Friday photo of my friends quilt ghan in progress. As you can see I didn't get it done by her b-day. But, I will have it done by the end of this week. I have 8 1/2 rows eft to go. I have 1 1/2 rows of squares done but not sewn on yet so I actually have a bit more done then the pic. shows.

Tabby, what a special ghan for your friend! It's beautiful.

[judianne]

Wow, Heather!! That TAW ghan is strikingly beautiful!! Great job!

What's next?

[JulieKay]

Gram-

Believe me, I know the feeling, having piles of squares but none put together to show yet. I think we've all been there at some point.

 

Maybe you can give a shout out here if you are stuck on something -- one of the other ladies may have been or is making the same thing you are and they could lend a hand. I don't have the pattern, so probably won't be of much help .

[JulieKay]

Heather

That is so very pretty, and my gosh, what a lot of work !!!! I bet it'd win the blue ribbon in your fair this year, wanna bet me ?

[Misa]

Heather - Oh my goodness!! That is drop dead gorgeous!! Fantastic job!!!

[hseger]

Thanks everybody I'm so relieved it's done. I started now on my calliope squares. I also want to maybe do a sampler quilt lapghan for my Mom for a late mother's day present hahaha.

[Krystal16]

heather - VERY beautiful!

[bgs]

ran out with just one dc to go on the last square. Oh well I'll just have to cheat and use a black that won't match since it's just one stitch.

 

 

Frog back and crochet a little tighter to get that stitch.

Heather~Your ATW turned out beautifully, great job!

[QueenOfCrochet]

I also found that pattern beautiful Gram. I saved it just incase I wanted to try it later on. The V squares is what discouraged me a bit but maybe someday. Good Luck on yours & if you need help just holler and maybe I can decipher some of it. If I can't i'm sure one of these ladies could. Good Luck!

 

Julie~Here is a pic. of the ghan incase you're curious on what it looks like. http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a8/queenpsycho26/?action=view&current=20060412_01.jpg

Heather your ATW is absolutely beautiful. Well done.

 

Tabby I love your ghan as well, you are so clever to have made that.

[jura2908]

Tabby - Wow, the picture look so beautiful! I wish I could do this quilt instead of the scarf as a mother's day gift.

 

Someone said it's annie's attic pattern and it's not available now ?

[JulieKay]

Tab

Thanks for showing me the photo -- yea I think I remember seeing that now. It is gorgeous !

I hope you and Gram are able to get it figured out. I'd love to see a completed one on here .

[QueenOfCrochet]

No problemo Julie. You won't see one from me for awhile, i'm seeing squares in my sleep. I may try the one from todays Annies Attic, it's beautiful and all in one piece. Have you come up with any new ideas?? Maybe a new CAL?? Not dropping the Happy House CAL but just creating a resting point for in between?? Maybe, huh, huh??

[judianne]

Tabby - Wow, the picture look so beautiful! I wish I could do this quilt instead of the scarf as a mother's day gift.

It's only available TODAY!

[tahlara]

Ah I see, someone PM me and send me the free pattern. I really appreciate the wonderful gesture! Thank you to the person, you know who you are. Unfortunately, I have no time to do the whole quilt afghan for this year's mother's day holiday. However, I am up for the challenge to do V stitch or 2 color squares. I can do a square each (three squares - solid, 2 colors, and V stitch) and provide my help if necessary. The edging seems easy enough to do.

[tahlara]

Julie Kay - Oh btw, your avatar looks so scary - the cheesy grin on the pig's face!

[JulieKay]

Hi Diane

I changed my avatar -- I wasn't real wild about it and it did look a little scarey, so maybe the new one will be a little more likeable ,

 

Tab- I'll think on it a little, but need to get a handle on some of these loose ends laying around here first .

 

Don't these CAL's spoil you ? Then you don't WANT to work on something alone because it's no fun .

[tahlara]

Julie Kay - I like the monkey avatar. It looks like me when I was denied some yarn shopping trip! Hehe.

[JulieKay]

Yea Diane

He does have a pretty disappointed look on his face, doesn't he ?
