Early this year, a fellow band mom, who is also a quilter, invited me to join a quilting group that meets once a week. “Just work on whatever you’re working on,” she said.
Now, one day a week, I get several hours of uninterrupted time to work and visit with other textile folks. It has been so much fun!
Seeing this as an opportunity to get some UFOs done, I brought the Brown Seveness Sweater to our weekly get-together. Look at it now! One more sleeve and the knitting is done. Then I have to weave in about a bajillion yarn ends, sew on these gorgeous buttons by Gail Hughes, and I’ll be set for the cold weather.
We had our doubts about ever experiencing cold weather again, after a summer of record-breaking heat. A cold front blew in yesterday and restored our hope. It’s cool and windy. Ahhhhhh.
Maybe I’ll be able to wear my sweater someday, after all—if I can get it away from our dog. His name is Firewheel.
