Come along with me!
Thank you for all the comments on my last post. I loved reading them! We’ve traveled down this road called quilting together, and I feel like each of you is a special friend. Come along on this new Moda journey with me! I’ll be sharing things that happen along the way, giving you tips, tutorials, sneak peeks, a few giveaways and so much more! The destination is Moda, and the fun will be in the journey!
Yesterday the studio was chaotic. Quilts are coming and going, their names are changing so fast I can’t remember what quilt is what, patterns are getting written and I’m planning our booth space for Minneapolis quilt market! And yet in the middle of the chaos, things are still normal for some in the studio!
Do any of you live in Minneapolis and happen to have a handyman husband or know a good carpenter? I need two walls built for my booth at International Quilt Market coming up in May. Do you know someone who can help? Please, please email me! If you live in the Minneapolis area, love sophisticated chic, know where to look for vintage things, and would be willing to help, please email me.
For those of you who might be crocheting away, I’m still picking up that needle too, whenever I can. It’s not perfect and I’m a bit embarrassed to show you, but remember it’s been years since I’ve crocheted. Had a bit of trouble changing colors, and I can see one row is wrong…not sure what I did. I’m determined this will become a throw so I’m sticking with it. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. Anyone know what I did wrong to get that “ridge” across the darker pink? I can expect to get better as I go along don’t you think?
I’m going back to work while it’s still March. April is just a few days away!
Have a great day. I’ll be back soon!

Yes, I think that one row looks tighter than the others, so I agree with what the others said. But I doubt it will be noticeable on a large throw, so I would just keep on going! This is going to be a gorgeous throw in pinks! I haven’t crocheted in years either and keep wanting to do something in soft colors for the daybed, like maybe the old fashioned granny squares, remember those? Maybe you’ll inspire me to pick up the ol’ crochet hook again :-)

Yes, you have a ridge because you changed how you were putting your crochet needle through the loops. They ladies are correct, it looks like you were going through both and then just did one, but you don’t always have to go through both. As a design choice- another time-you can just decide to go through just the “back loop” or just the “front loop” and enjoy the lines you get on the pattern. Consistency is the key.
I find crochet very forgiving.No one else will see it when you get it all done.

Hi Anne, I was digging thru my printed copies of your wonderful Tisket a Tasket free BOM because I am going to my friend’s house to sew. I was hoping she’d have time to help me learn applique. But, I seem to be missing block 4….and I cannot find the link anymore. Is there anyway I could get a copy of that month yet? Thanks, Kris
