Back in Hague Prison!




Yes, I know it's been a long time...been very busy and a little lazy when it comes to getting pictures up on the old blog.
So, here I am back in Hague Prison. Haven't done a lot of knitting - but did just finish two shawls for my niece. One is a black Half Pi Shawl and one is a fringed stole done in Berrocco Suede - Wild Bill Hickcock Brown.
I've done more sewing this year than knitting. Got the quilting bug again. My sister and niece came up to Hague and we took a very long day trip to Keepsake Quilting and Patternworks in Center Harbor, New Hampshire. It was a wonderful day. We also went to a nice Quilt Show in Saratoga.
So here are a few pictures... I made this quilt for my son. The pattern and screenprinted Psalms came from http://BlockPartyStudios.com and is called "Bedtime Prayers". I used batiks mostly, pine bough and moose/bear batiks on black, to commemorate all the time he spent helping my husband build our Adirondack chalet here in Hague, red batik with branding symbols because he's now living in Texas. The label has the outline of Florida where he was born and then did his internship and opened his first practice, New York where he was raised and schooled, Georgia where he went to Chiropractic school, and Texas where he is now living. He is coming up here for a visit with his girlfriend Stacy over Labor Day so I can give it to him with the matching pillow case to take back with him. It sure was a lot of work and expensive all tolled...but a labor of love of course. I'll post this and then try another - it's been a while since I did this.
