Is there any knitting goin on?

It was my intention to make this a blog about knitting. I don't think I have posted once about knitting! While I do knit almost every single day, I seem to be engaged in a delightful obsession with fabric at the moment. I am very new to quilting. I have just started my very first on line quilt a long, over at Old Red Barn Co and I am having a great time. I am very far behind but will hopefully catch up this week. Dana is giving us very detailed, photo filled instructions, so I am learning tons. I never fully realized the importance of pinning-I used to always skip that part! Not anymore. Pins are my friends. They make a world of difference when trying to line up squares. I have found so much inspiration on line. There are so many wonderful blogs, and tutorials out there. My main problem now is to find time to make all of these wonderful quilts.

I am almost finished with the top of a quilt kit I purchased over at Bits and Bobs by Amy Smart's Etsy shop. The quilt has some fantastic fabrics, and Amy so nicely cut the squares, and numbered the rows, so it was a breeze to put together. My other project was taken from Film in the Fridge. I fell madly in love with her Wonderland baby quilt. I ordered the charm packs from Pink Chalk Fabric. As soon as they arrived I went right to work. I am so happy with how this turned out. I took particular care in matching up my squares.
