The days are wizzing by so fast. It is January 7th. I busy cleaning, organizing and finding out I have more things than any person can use or need. OK, I have been sewing since my feet could touch the treadle, knitting since age 10 while my sister hogged the only sewing machine we had in the house (she could sew better than me). I look back, January 6, 1976, yes many years ago. That day, at 3am in the morning we had a house fire, we lost so much in clothes and material things. I look back, how blessed we were to have saved many old photos, yes old photos. Photos are treasures to me. I still have pictures in my brain of all the stuff thrown out the back door of the house in a pile, a mountain of clothes, furniture, flooring, My collection of knitting and sewing supplies. The yarn, needles, books, sewing stuff, I was 18 and senior year in high school. My twin sister and I lost all our clothes, I had to borrow clothes to have Senior pictures taken. It is funny what you remember. OK, 1976, now light years later 2015. I have made up for the loss, I have to much of every thing, yes to much.
So where is all the fun stuff, the knitting projects, the quilting projects. Yes, you need to see what I have been doing.
OK, besides cleaning, organizing and shoveling snow in between. I did find time to do research on half square triangles. I can not believe how many ways you can do half square triangles. Yes, many make a square, put a line from corner to corner and sew, hack off half and be happy. I am different. My favorite way is to make strips. Sew 1/14" seam on each side, to make like a tube and than take a ruler and rotary cutter to cut the triangles to size needed. It works, it truly works. You don't need a special ruler or anything...so cool. OK, I will most more with photos, keep you on edge of seat. Go get something warm to drink, sit on the couch, thank God for all his blessings and be happy! Photos and more details to follow....
