Why yes, I do love samplers

Jeanie (no blog) asked if I like to make samplers. I do, but I made knitted samplers before.

This is a knitted lace sampler I made:



And this is another knitted sampler made of other non-lace sampler blocks:



And this is a knitted cable sampler afghan:



Each sampler block always feels like a little, individual project to me. It's fun to me to have the sense of finishing something on your way to finishing a big something. ;)

When I finished making the Sampler Quilt blocks, I'm going to make a Japanese quilt block sampler. I'm already starting to go through stash and gather fabrics together.

Another November completed

Hard to believe but this is the last day of November again. I enjoyed NaBloPoMo again this year and I successfully posted each day. I think that NaNo and NaBloPoMo are wonderful to do together. This was a great month for me. I hope you enjoyed it, too. Please keep in touch.

Just seen your comment on my blog. Thanks!

My mum insisted on putting up wallpaper even though I advised her not to. Silverfish were attracted to something in the paper or the paste and not only ate through the wallpaper but nibbled on 2 antique, semi-valuable, lithographs. My Mum didn't notice at first and when I pointed out the damage she finally took my advice and remove all the wall paper in the house.
Unfortunately the damage to the lithographs is irreversible.

I am a hand quilter also. I love to sit and work and visit with my husband. Machine quilting seems so isolating.

Maybe I'll check Revelry out again after November and December.

It's so much fun to meet people from other countries!

We have limited stores on Maui, Hawaii, too. I've ordered most of my material from the Internet. I'm also thankful for Amazon for books.

My real name is Darilyn.

It's nice to meet you.

I was quite skeptical about Ravelry at first, unsure of what it could do for me but I am totally addicted now.

I also used to quilt a bit. I was a member of several online groups and they were great.
Quilting is problematic here in Israel - at the time there was no cotton material here (there are now 3 quilting shops) and my hands swell in the summer so as a hand sewer I can only quilt during the 3 months of winter. The same goes for cross-stitch.

At least I can knit with cotton yarn during the summer months

Hi screamer

Have you signed up for Ravelry yet?

I'm already addicted
