outing shawl

I found via an instagram friend this lovely pattern called the Outing Shawl.  I wanted to try something a bit more complicated and to also make something for myself.  A few days later I happened upon this vibrant cotton on sale at Spotlight and thought the colour was a bit of fun.



I wear a lot of black, navy and grey - especially in winter so the orange was perfect.

The pattern took me a little while to get my head around, and I certainly couldn't memorise it, but I did get the hang of it in the end.


I made the shawl a bit longer than the pattern stated, and I haven't blocked it yet either.  But I have warn it a couple of times.  


It's pretty and comfortable and I'm so proud of it!

Kids art quilt -finished

Guy's teacher had her last day on Friday and I finished the quilt in time to gift it to her in the morning.   I also wrapped up a cute cushion with a train on it for her older boy - which he apparently adores.



I finished the quilt with a scrappy binding in greens.



Below are close ups of the kids drawings.










The teacher adored the quilt.  Yay!
