Pattern Time!

The tension is a little rough on these starting rounds and I wish I had done a couple extra rows of ribbing, but I’m still in the ‘wait and see if it resolves’ phase before I frog and try again.

You can grab the PDF pattern for my Drama Queen Cowl from my Etsy shop or Ravelry shop! 💞👏😊

Completed star shawl, made with Sultan Deluxe yarn from Hobbii. I really love how the beaded tassels really make the rest of the textured design of this shawl *pop*.

I’m so enamored with this quilt design. I was a bit intimidated at first by how precise the points would have to be for this to come together, but with 10% credit to skill, 30% to aggressive pre-starching of fabric, and 60% to an incredibly well written, clear pattern with good templates and tons of diagrams, this came together shockingly easily. I did spend a lot of time prepping the fabric, cutting and taping the templates, and then cutting the fabrics, but the piecing was a breeze. I only ripped and redid two seams in the entire quilt! The pattern is “Chroma” from Taralee quiltery and, if it wasn’t clear, I would highly recommend anyone who is interested to check it out.

I’m only posting the top for now because I think I am going to hand quilt this one, which will take some time, but I just couldn’t wait to share.
