Hi everyone, sorry about the delay in updating, I´ve sprained a wrist which has made typing, blogging and nearly everything else a bit difficult.. It is check-in day for the Smalls SAL hosted by Heather at the Stitching Lotus and I can show this little pattern finished recently but not yet made into a biscornu.
While DH was away for a week, I was going to sew up a storm, completing UFOs, catching up on taking photos and blogging in general but on the first morning of my -do-as-you-please- days, I sprained my wrist making the bed of all things and so my sewing plans went out of the window.
This biscornu pattern is a free one by Erba at CasaERBA
Before down to the use of just one hand, I had been making very good progress with my granddaughter´s crochet blanket squares.
I started making blue knitted squares months ago but we then decided on purple and pink crochet cotton ones and I needed to make about one hundred. They are nearly finished now and I am doing the blocking.
SOME HORRIBLE SCRAPS
I have been trying to organize my fabric stash and have these horrible scraps which I am going to put together in a big envelope and send to anyone who might be in the need of horrible scraps, just let me know if you would like them..,,. they are mainly 90cm x 15cm.
This is all for the moment, see you next week.
Sheryl
Sweet friend, how I love seeing your beautiful creations. The soft pastel colors you shared put a smile on my face...ah, such loveliness :)
ReplyDeleteYou are such a dear to offer your scraps and I have no doubt someone will put them to good use :) Hugs to you, sweet Sheryl!
I am sorry for your wrist, I am sure you will manage to finish your UFOs as soon as you are better!Love the colours of the crocheted squares!Don't count me in on the scraps I am not sewing.AriadnefromGreece!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you hurt you wrist Sheryl.... especially at the beginning of a care-free sewing week!! Hope it is improving. Love this beautiful little project and the crocheted squares for the blanket and fabulous! Christine x
ReplyDeleteHow elegant!! I am enchanted!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I make the king sized bed I always feel like I'm going to sprain my wrist. So sad it actually happened to you. I love the colors you picked for CasaErba's pattern.
ReplyDeleteOh your biscornu is just beautiful....and it's not even assembeled yet. I look forward to seeing it finished! I hope your wrist is better.
ReplyDeleteI love the nice pile of granny squares for your granddaughter's blanket! I can't wait to see it finished either so please post a picture of it when it is completed!
100 squares seriously!. They are all so beautiful. Now you have me thinking twice about making the bed, but I know if I didn't I would hear my mother speaking to me from way up above!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry to hear about your wrist, Sheryl! I think that may be a first--spraining a wrist from making a bed :) I hope it heals quickly so you can resume making the squares for your granddaughter's blanket! They are so pretty..
ReplyDeleteHope October will be a better month with no further injuries--take care now!
I hope your wrist gets better soon, take care. Your crochet squares look wonderful! Those fabric scraps would do great in the quilt along Autumn Jubilee I have coming up. If no one takes them, sew them up! Cut into squares and triangles, they won't be so bad. Take care!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching and I love all the colors in your squares also. Soft and pretty for sure.
ReplyDeleteOh, i hope your wrist recovers soon. Beautiful work! Love the colors for your blanket.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful biscornou this will be. As always, beautiful stitching!
ReplyDeleteI love your scraps. If no one else wants them, please send them to me!
You are the first to claim them Pamela, they are for you,
DeleteIt is very hard to do things with a sore wrist. Well just shows that housework is bad for you...
ReplyDeleteYour crochet squares are lovely. I haven't the patience to join them together. Love your stitching. As for the fabric... I love using scraps. I make lots for charity and I know they will go to good use.... good luck with your recovery...
Hi Sheryl,wow this piece of needlework is stunning,i love the colours you have used,and boy this is going to be one cute blanket for your GD ,the colours are perfect,well done Sheryl and i hope your wrist is better soon .
ReplyDeleteLovely work! A bum wrist is no fun. I hope it heals up quickly!
ReplyDeleteLovely work! A bum wrist is no fun. I hope it heals up quickly!
ReplyDeleteOf all things to happen while making the bed. Who knew that was a risky activity! Love that unusual biscornu. And what a ton of pretty colored squares. Hope the wrist heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about wrist, hope it is better now. Your work is always so gorgeous!:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful biscornu pattern and colours. Love the colours in the blanket squares as well. I'm so sorry you sprained your wrist - I hope it heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteWow, who would've thought one could sprain a wrist making the bed. How annoying!! Hope it is on the mend. The biscornu pattern is lovely. The colours are so soft and pretty. Your embroidery is always amazing! Gorgeous squares, this will make a gorgeous little blanket. Take care, lovely Sheryl.
ReplyDeleteLovely work. Your stitching looks great.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Manuela
Love that biscornu and all those pink squares! Thanks for such lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you for making it! Lovely pink colour <3
ReplyDeleteThe crocheted squares are so beautiful!!
Hope your wrist heals up soon! Take good care!!
Hugs erba
wow, the biscornu is beautiful! is that needleweaving in the centre?
ReplyDeleteGosh Sheryl, poor you straining your wrist. I'm not too surprised you could do this, our King sized mattress is very heavy, and with my bad back I have to get DH to assist me changing the mattress cover. I hope your wrist is improving now!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous stitching, the centre is amazingly pretty, is it needle weaving? I love the colours of your crochet squares, not sure if you have told us before, just wondering what cotton you used .... not that I'm likely to try making anything like this .... just wondering!
Take care of yourself!
Hugs, Barbara xx
One womans horrible is another's lovely! If they are still looking for a home count me in. What a shame about your wrist! My most productive time is when Philip is away - decorating, sewing tidying sorting - it's amazing how much you can get done with no man about! I love your beautiful stitchery - gorgeous. xx
ReplyDeleteLove the pinks and purples. Good luck with the wrist!
ReplyDeleteNothing like starting a project in knitting and then switching to crochet! Those colors will make a very girly blanket. :) Hope your wrist improves!
ReplyDeleteLovely work!
ReplyDeleteI hope your wrist feels much better soon, and I love that finish and colours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely colour you have for the biscornu. You are really a beautiful stitcher! Hope your wrist feels much better now.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you sprained your wrist and that all your wonderful plans for your week alone went out the window. How disappointing. And with just one hand crafting is more than difficult. I hope that your wrist is already better and that you can slowly slowly get back to stitching and crocheting.
ReplyDeleteThese crochet squares are wonderful to look at in all these wonderful colours. And the little biscornu pattern - just great!
Hi Sheryl, so sorry to hear about your wrist - that is so annoying, just when you had lots of big crafty plans, too. Your crocheted squares are such pretty colours and the biscornu is going to be stunning when you put it together. I will pass on the horrible fabric scraps, as I am trying to clean out my fabric stash, too. hugs, Kaye xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Sheryl, what a lovely piece you have created for Smalls SAL.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your wrist, I hope it improves soon, so that you can continue your beautiful handicrafts.
wow Aheryl, che brava che sei a ricamare, e i tuoi quadratini hanno colori stupendi
ReplyDeletePretty crafting☺ So sorry about your wrist♥
