COLOR MY WORLD BY PAULA FRANGELLA

 

 

This lap size quilt was made by Paula. She has named the quilt "Color My World" for obvious reasons, and the actual pattern name is "Trip Around the World", which is a traditional pattern from many years ago. The oldest example I could find was one that was completed in 1900.

I used YLI "White" cotton thread. The digital quilting design is called "Star Spangled Allover", and it is available from Urban Elementz.

 

 

 

Here are some photos of the quilting process.

 

 Here is the quilt after being quilted, and it's ready for Paula to bind.

The size of this quilt is approximately 57" x 72", and the cost for my services was $75.58, which included a set up fee, digital edge-to-edge quilting, and thread. Paula provided her own batting.

And the quilt was finished and ready to be picked up in only a few days!

REVERSIBLE CABLE KNIT SCARF BY REBECCA LATHAM

Okay, this is not a quilt! But since I don't have a yarn blog, I am posting my latest project here.

I have always been looking for a truly reversible knitted cable stitch, and I finally found one here.

For this scarf, I used two 3.5 oz. skeins of Lion Brand Yarns Landscapes, in the colorway Volcano, which I purchased at JoAnn Fabric and Crafts Store.

 

 

I cast on 46 stitches, and worked it using size 8 and 10 knitting needles. I started out with 6 rows of garter stitch (knit every row), with 4 stitches of garter at the sides, then ended the final border with 6 rows of garter stitch. The center 38 stitches are filled with the cable pattern. 

I am so happy that I found this pattern, and I will be giving this scarf as a gift soon. I hope my friend likes it!
