Socks and sewing and Christine's Kitchen Quilt

April is turning out to be a pretty active crafting month.  I finished one pair of socks and I'm almost done with another pair.

I started making a quilt top.  For some reason I felt compelled to learn how to paper piece so I watched some videos on Youtube and started the Christine's Kitchen Quilt-a-long.  The patterns are free and I was able to use fabric that I already own.  So that was nice :)

I really like the way it's turning out!  We're on week 6 now so I'll work on that this week.

I also started another quilt top! This one is pretty easy and I can work on it whenever.  I don't have to wait for a pattern to be released.  It's the Swatch Quilt from the Cotton + Steel website.  I really like the way it's looking.  I still need to work on getting accurate 1/4" seam allowances tho.  That part is tripping me up.  It's kind of embarrassing that I have so much fabric in my stash that I don't want to use for garment sewing anymore.  It's makes me feel good that I'm still able to put it to good use tho :)

Finishing up some WIP's and hopefully getting back into the sewing and knitting groove

Thank goodness it's spring!  I cut this dress out ages ago and finally finished it up.  It's out of flannel so it's warm but heavy.  Definitely don't need to wear it now.  Maybe next winter.

Here's the pattern that I used.  I've made view B three times now.  I like this pattern for a house dress so they definitely never go outside LOL

Finally finished my Susan B. Anderson How I Make My Socks socks.  They turned out nice and they fit!

I started another pair of socks using the same pattern and some self-striping Felici from Knit Picks in Chickadee colorway. They will go to my mom.

Here's Ole Poke.  How is that comfortable? :)
