Anyway, now I'm working on a bunch for my friend Boots to sell at flea markets in Montana this summer. I got 18 tops done this week and another 12 cut out. Hopefully they'll be a big hit!!

Red and Brown Hats
My mom's friend Sandy had sent me a magazine article about some slouchy knit hats and had requested that I make her a red and brown one. I was actually able to use up some of my stash, which was great! I used two patterns from the Holiday 2007 issue of KnitSimple.
I knit them in the car on the way to CA and finished them minutes before she came to my grandma's house after spending time with my mom. :) She offered to pay me for them, but they were so much fun to make and didn't cost me anything so I just gave them to her as a Christmas present (in January). :)
They are really more like tams or berets than slouchy hats, and I think they look really cute on her.
Trip to CA in January - Temecula Quilt Co.
Christmas Presents for friends

Quilt Day from November 2010
First is a picture of my mom and Carol. My mom is working on the Abraham Lincoln quilt she is making for my dad (Christmas present). She is using Civil War reproduction fabric and making it "nap" size (long enough for my dad to nap under). :)
Carol was playing around with some fussy-cut centered log cabins for a table runner that she was making from scraps - they really went together nicely. I thought I had taken a picture of her final product, but I can't seem to find it. The colors were brown and green.
Maria worked on her red and white quilt blocks that will be for her daughter's bed when she gets married. The picture really doesn't do justice to the colors - it is vibrant and the squares are so precise.
Our next "quilt day" is scheduled for February 26th, I'll try to post pictures right away after that one. :)
