schnibbles win & a mystery sock

Are you enjoying the Quilt Festival? I am! It is going to take me a while to get through the whole list but it has been worth it so far. Some of the stories about the quilts are so touching. I updated my quilt festival post to include a link to my sister's quilt festival post. She picked a quilt we made together and talked about our sister quilts. She even has pictures of us together. You should check out how short my hair used to be!!


I am having so much fun participating in A Year of Schnibbles. The patterns are fun and I am loving having (and will continue to have) a cute finished quilt every month. I was so surprised to have won one of the giveaways the first month! And from the quilter who designs the Schnibbles patterns no less! The very talented Carrie sent me this incredible gift.



Thank you, Carrie!! And for this month's Schnibble we are making Cindy Lou Who. When I saw this it just sang, make me in one of your favorite color combos, patriotic!! So red, white, and blue it will be.

I am very excited to be participating in Through the Loops mystery sock pattern for Soctoberfest. Every Thursday she puts up a new clue. I am not likely to have the leg of the socks by tomorrow so I am a touch behind but I am sure I can catch up.

I am using some precious Koigu sockyarn for these socks. After discovering how pretty the cuffs were, I can't wait to see what the leg will look like.
