I tested mitten making when a friend on HGTV found this video~ Mitten Making ~recycling sweaters into mittens. I don't think I felted the sweater enough (I was too excited to get sewing) ;-) They are little big~ I also forgot to look for a sweater with ribbing for the mitten cuff. I'm going to adjust the pattern a bit and try again. I love wearing mittens when trying to clear the side walks, scraping ice off the car window etc. :-)
And finally I got this large quilt top together. :-) It is 'Imagine' from Carrie's book Schnibbles Times Two. I cannot remember the name of the layer cake. :-o Do you know? I no longer have a big hall for laying out tops, so this is half of it. I am hoping to go quilting in November. ;-)
That's all the news from here~ I hope you are having a great weekend!
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

Wow, it is a very good start.
Cute mittens! :-)
Your Imagine quilt is beautiful. I got mine back from Carrie today. :-)
Am going to have to check out my Quiltmaker magazine. You have done some great projects there.
You have been very busy! I like the table topper, but am in love with the mittens. I will go over and look at the pattern. I can see myself making some of them for gifts.
You've made some lovely things, the toppers are great and Imagine is wonderful.
Wow! Great work! Thanks for the link to the mitten tutorial, I went and watched it and it was great! I just helped my daughter make felted wool slippers so Mittens will be the next project on the list for her to try! I am loving how soft the wool sweaters become after washing as well.
Love that quilt. I just ordered the Schnibbles book a couple of days ago. You have been busy!!
