Hello

Thank you for looking at my blog. My latest passion is applique which I have been doing since 2015. I love making things and learning new crafts On this blog you will see some of the things I have been working on. You will also see wonderful items created by other people. When I am not crafting I enjoy being with family and friends, singing and family history. My favourite place in the whole world is anywhere by the sea and I have to get my fix every few weeks. My favourite colour is PURPLE but I love turquoise too!

Borders and Time

I keep being asked how long it takes me to make a single size throw. The answer is I don't know! I fit it in around everything else. I tackled the latest one very methodically. I worked out the colours for the granny squares and each day I did 1 row in 1 colour on 5 squares. I sewed in the ends on 5 squares a day and when joining them it was 1 row a day. I did 1 row of border a day and the final border all at once. If I achieved more than that it was a bonus!
 
I used the scallop border for the first time. You first do one row of double crochet going into the gap between the trebles then the two holes in the treble. In the next row you do 5 trebles into one stitch, miss a stitch and single chain to bring he scallop back down then miss a stitch and back to 5 trebles.
