Scenes from the Road of Life
I got this Jessie Twined Bowl Kit from Flax and Twine a while ago, I've worked on it off and on over the last few weeks.
I finished it today. The instructions called for just burying the cord ends along the side's warp threads. But I decided instead to tie them in knots around the outside. This was a very fun project.
I got this in the mail yesterday and Darrell helped me put it together today. I got some special red roller wheels for it, and he put those on too. I'm going to store my special embroidery threads and stuff in it.
I started this project a long while back. This is Rooted by Sue Spargo. I bought the kit with all of the wool and thread included, plus the instruction booklet. I already had her little book about the embroidery stitches I would need to complete the project.
After making a few blocks, I set this project aside over a year ago. I picked it back up a few days ago and it was exactly as I left it. Everything was still all together, too.
I finished the last of the embroidery today. Block #4 is done. Now onto #5.
I know nothing about basketweaving. I bought a kit with instructions from Flax & Twine. I opened the box today and reading the instructions cut some cords for the warp and wrapped the ends with tape. Then cut a very long piece for the weft. And started the weaving.
I actually enjoyed it, but had to quit for the day.
I got the instructions for month five of the SeaMQGBOM2026 last night.
I cut the parts and pieces out and sewed them together to make four more 'blocks'.
I quilted, trimmed, made binding and sewed it onto the Babe in the Woods quilt. It measures 35" by 36". The top is all flannel.
Its done! This is finish number nine for the year!
