"If I could make you purtier, I would."

Well, I've finally finished my Summer Cardi and I am soooo pleased with the final result. I was a crocheting mad-lady for a few days as I got obsessed with getting it finished. My fingers hurt at the end, but all is well with the finished product.

This was taken without the button attached. I plan on getting some good pics tomorrow of me wearing it.

I need a break from yarn, so I have decided to start on the quilt. I stuck the fabric in the washer and will dry and iron today and tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow night I can start to cut the fabric. I've decided to make a rag quilt with a dark redish flag fabric, a blue gingham, a red stripe, and some muslin. I've got an old flannel blanket that is red plaid that I will sandwich in between.

I really want to make the purse hanger, but I haven't been inspired by any of the pieces of wood I've seen. Of course, I will not be purchasing anything to make this, so some good found wood is what is in order. I already have the hardware, some wrought iron hooks, very rustic. I'll have to poke around at Mom's house this weekend.
