I've been sewing fabric scraps again. Japanese fabrics mainly. Here's a picture of my design wall today...
Each block is a 4''x4'' square. The idea is to make a quilt for the sofa. Yes, I need to make many more blocks, but I'm going slowly... One hour of Japanese, 15 minutes of sewing, one hour of Japanese, etc..
During the summer, I started crocheting a ripple blanket, inspired by the lovely Lucy at
Attic24. (Please have a look at her beautiful blog!)
I just wanted to finish up all my yarn leftovers, but of course I ended up buying some new yarn...
And now, I've got more leftovers, so I've been making these little granny squares...
I don't know yet what I'll do with them. Maybe a little blanket for my GD's doll.
Next are a few pictures of my GD's first try at counted-thread embroidery. First, she did straight stitches...
Then, half stitches...
I think she's almost ready for cross stitch.

I love Japanese fabrics and how their colors are usually muted. That's so neat that your GD is trying out embroidery/counted cross stitch. There's something quite satisfying about hand work-watching it develop as you take stitch by stitch.
Look how cute she is, and very advanced!. How great that she is interested in this
j'aime bien les qilts avec de petits carrés tout simple et répétitif, c'est reposant ... à regarder après. Douée la puce dans la famille!!! elle fait de beaux petits points. ça promet encore bien des plaisirs.
Your GD's stitching looks amazing, Francoise, you must be such a good teacher. I Iove the scrap quilt designs, what a great idea.
