no knitting weekend
so i didn’t knit at all this weekend. not that i didn’t feel like it i was busy doing this….
it is one of the baby quilts for DD#1’s teacher. as you can see it is once again a trip around the world. my favorite pattern next to the log cabin. i love doing the coloring for these quilts. i’m really liking how this one is turning out.
i plan on knitting while watching Raisin in the Sun in 10 minutes though!!!
oh i also made these….
can you guess what they are????
they are fire starters! i made them from candle wax, saw dust, and dryer lint. very easy to make and work fantastic! i also but some scent in them but i don’t think i put enough in them or the wood just over powered it. ok got go watch the movie.
i forgot to post the other pictures of the fire starters! thanks patrice for asking. you light it and place it under the wood… and it will do the rest!!!

lol… i thought they were some kinda of bran muffin! lol Do you just toss them in the fireplace? How do they work?
Nice colors I like how they fade in and out.
Aaaaah that is so pretty! I swear quiltting is harder than knitting!!
Hope you are enjoying A Raisin in the Sun!! I am!
thanks! i did enjoy it. at first i was saying i wasn’t going to watch cause i just don’t like to watch folks mess over others. but i watched it and i wanted to whopp Puffy’s ass when Phylicia (i love me some Phylicia!) was so heart broken over what he did. good movie!
I never heard of firestarters before–what a great idea.
Pretty quilt; do you have to sew all those little squares together?
yep! they are 2″ squares. thanks!
You’ve been busy. I need to start making the quilt tops to my dd’s long awaited quilt. I cut the pieces out when she was an infant; and now she will be 6 years old in 2 weeks. Man, time flies.
