retirement pattern for a knitter/sewer/quilter
« on: March 07, 2011, 10:35:53 am »
I have a friend who just retired, she is a quilter who is just starting to take up knitting, I would love to make her something related, I've researched a few places but no luck - thanks
I love the smell of saw dust in the morning.

My wife is a quilter, but not into knitting, if you could give me an idea of what you have in mind I could ask her for an idea or two.

a couple of sayings that come to mind
"she who has the most fabric at the end, wins"
"friends are like fabric, you can never have enough"

My wife sews and does crouchet(SP?) and she said that those would work for her so Iam going to say yep those would work in the sewing machine.

That sounds like a winner, I don't believe the wife and I could top that. I'd probably like a copy too if Grampa works his usual magic!

Here I sit in front of this tube listening to the rain on the roof. No sawing today. :(

Great job!! Love the pattern.
We should have one for us scrollers like "friends are like patterns, you can never have enough" with a scroll saw.
