It's been a busy week here in the Finger Lakes, USA - the weather is perfect for lake fun! Swimming, skiing, tubing and just having fun with our family - there is no better way to spend the summer.
A couple of other fun things going on this week -- first the Throwback Thursday featured tutorial "Wool Lovers Tips and Tricks" was written last year for the Wool Lovers Blog Hop.
You can see a complete list of my tutorials by clicking the "My Tutorials" tab on my blog header ;)
Next, my blogging friend Carole at
"From My Carolina Home" blog finished a beautiful pillow rendition of my "Spring Basket" pattern and is having a giveaway of Karen Kay Buckley Perfect Scissors on her blog.
These serrated edge scissors work wonderfully on wool. Hop on over to Carole's blog to see her lovely and creative work and be sure to enter the giveaway - it ends Thursday night, July 17th, so don't delay!!

Happy Quilting!
Hugs,
Karen

ReplyDeleteHi Karen...just dropping in to catch up with what you are up to. :) More wonderful things...your picture of grands swimming reminded me of my own youthful days swimming the summer days away!!
ReplyDeleteJust visited Carole's blog. We are neighbors since she is in NC and I am in Ga. Loved her blog. Thank you for the intro - I love her Spring Basket Pillow. So Pretty.

Love to see your work on FB. Maybe this will help motivate me to finish my penny rug!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely work. I keep thinking I'll finish the wool penny rug I started, but I need encouragement! Love seeing your work on FB.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Thanks so much. Ahhh, the Finger Lakes. A beautiful location. On a trip back east from TX one year, I threaded my way along the tips of the Finger Lakes and always thought I'd find my way back there for a longer visit. Maybe someday. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the tips about working with wool. I will give the needle felting tip a try. Love your work.
