Knitted Infinity Scarves

I've said it before and I'll say it again....infinity scarves are a HOT item right now. 

In fact I'm surprised it took us all so long to catch on; living through a Canadian winter you practically wrap a sleeping bag around your head to keep warm...(not really) but a circular scarf with no end that you wrap and wrap...with no ends flapping around...genius!!

I have an Etsy Shop WonderbunnieDesigns, and I have had a heck of a time

keeping it stocked with scarves.

They are all knitted by me, with two types of yarn knitted together. That gives more oomph and  'oooh' factor. Cozy and warm; you can loop it once, or twice around - it can go up to your ears if you like.

Care is simply wash by hand, mild detergent and lay flat to dry.

Like any natural fiber, if it stretches out, simply wash, lay it flat, and stretch it back to it's shape whilst drying.

Here are some designs I have made, some are in the shop and some sell out as quick as I post them!

Fabric and Fabric and Fabric

I was at my favourite LQS on Monday.
And as I perused the aisles, touching this, oohing at that... I got to wonderings.....


What is it about us quilters...?

we see GORGEOUS prints.... 

we coo and sigh, and pet them, and (or, is that just me??)

 keep them neatly, tidily folded sitting quietly on our shelf.

Until...

We catch that creative bug...the gleam in our eye....standing tall in the doorway of our creative space...rotary cutter in hand....

And we get the primal urge to rip and tear and shred....(sorry, just me??)

We pull out the fabrics, slap 'em down, and then slice them up sideways and frontways until we re-attach them with other pieces of fabric...

...To make one big beautiful piece of fabric made of the many.

...beautiful pieces of fabric, with such juicy designs....then you draw and SLICE them up and reattach them. Kinda like making a really pretty, non scary Frankenstein. Kinda. Then you mess with colours and patterns and then reattach it all and make a beautiful piece of art that will keep you warm.

That's what I love about sewing. Gives me such a thrill to say "I made that."

Taking a giant piece, cutting it up, and then creating something entirely new.

 What is it about sewing that makes you tick?!

Cozy Sunday, No Work Today

Well today is zooming by in a cozy comfy cocoon of coffee, cats, cuddling & sunshine...

 

She's got something behind her ear....I'll get it...

I couldn't make the bed....the cats were still sleeping!

 Here's some pics to keep the warm fuzzies goin'....

Vamp stealing my pillow...

Mikie in the sunny spot

Not much happening today...I have to go to a surprise baby shower later....enjoy your Sunday!

Update & Happy Mardi Gras!!!!

Lots going on here at The Quilt Cave. Christmas was lovely, gifts exchanged and everyone enjoyed the Big Turkey Dinner. (That I nearly dropped on the floor, but that's another story a la Mr. Bean).

I haven't had much time for sewing, we are in the process of selling the house and so, must keep everything contained and neat and orderly. *Snort*

I do have a few WIPS (of course) and plenty of UFOS....

A new favourite full sized WIP

! I did finish a whole bunch of Bloomers however for the shop, to go along with the Custom designs, and  I think I will be adding more colours this summer...keep your eyes peeled!

Well y'all, as they say down in N'awlins.... Laissez les bons temps rouler!!

Someone has claimed this Sprocket pillow as his own.

A few pics for you on this blustery cold Feb Mardi Gras....

The BEST spelling mistake ever....read carefully...a little sewing humour

MY favourite couch blanket made with Moda and Bernat yarns, it's twin sized, took me almost a year. Ha. Perfect to snuggle under...

Mom's Quilt is Finished!

Wellllllllllllll It's all finished!

All the threads trimmed, bound neatly and ready to go! It's a bit too square than I had first planned but, I'm pretty happy with it. 

's favourite colours are coral and rust and coppery colours; I hope she likes this.

She told me about the heavy quilts she slept under as a child; and I used a heavy blanket and batting for the fill. It's nice and toasty warm; I tested it out watching TV last week and it worked really well. Nice and warm. :)

I hope she likes this!

I just used big squares and stitched in the ditch, added some sashing and hand stitched the hearts. There's also a "I love you Mom" in the border by the corner. Let's see if she finds it.
