Warm Your Heart! (Free Pattern)


56 children will be warmer this winter.
60 children in-need will receive a gift in a handmade pillow case this Christmas.
103 animals in the local shelters can snuggle on a bed this winter.
80 "Meals On Wheels" recipients will receive a beautiful place-mat with their 
Thanksgiving dinner.

Every year, Novembers meeting is a pot luck dinner for Thanksgiving.
A meeting that is a bit out of the norm.
Last night our Charity committee held a "Parade Of Quilts" so everyone could see what incredible items made over the year.
Also a representative from CASA was there to speak and collect the quilts for the children. 
The other items will be delivered all over this week. 

I wish I had photos but I was helping with the parade!


Here is one of my contributions!
A child's blanket and pillowcase.

This is a great project!


This is a great time to try out some free motion!

Mittens (Free Tut.) & A Scarf!


My first set of fingerless mittens!
Here is the free pattern at Lula Louise


In my style of doing things--I had to change it a little to be completely the seed stitch.
You will see the difference if you look at pattern.



And why stop there!
Also made a simple lace pattern for a scarf !
This I just increased as I went along.



 Here is my matching set for those chilly days!

In a previous post several asked about the yarn.
I have know idea what it is.
It was not cheap-- but boy it is soft.
I got it at a yarn store not from a chain.
