A friend and I are going on the annual Holiday pub crawl/trolley tour this evening. We always dress up because they have a costume photo contest. This will be the second time we've done Christmas Vacation but the first time I've dressed as Cousin Eddie in the scene where he's, ahem, cleaning out the RV. I've had the costume* for a while but I decided I needed an appropriate purse. I found a cardboard box just the right size.
A little duct tape, a little spray paint, some toy wheels because you never know when you'll need toy wheels and voila!
The beauty of it is, the worse it looks, the better it looks.
*I have leggings that almost perfectly match my skin tone. I bet I'll freak out more than a couple of people tonight, but I'm debating whether or not I should throw on a pair of boxers over them. Thoughts?

I've been on a knitting at night kick lately. One of my favorite items to knit are socks because I really like to be able to wear items that I knit. I do enjoy knitting shawls as well, especially lighter weight lacy shawls. I live in Florida and the weather here restricts somewhat the kinds of knitting projects that would e truly useful. So socks and lacy shawls are pretty much the limit of what I tend to make, with the occasional lightweight sweater sprinkled in here and there.
I got a kick out of listening to this particular video last night while knitting my latest pair of socks. I made a pair of yoga socks for my younger sister last week. She is enjoying them. I let her loose on my sock yarn stash and she picked out which yarn to make them out of. I have to confess my heart sank when she settled on the yarn she wanted as it was one I had hoped to make myself a pair of socks from. But I put on my poker face and knitted them up from the yarn she chose. But since they are yoga socks which don't have toes or heels and are fairly short I have enough left to make myself some super shorties from!

What type of lacemaking did Barbara do? I tat and most of my crochet work tends to be lacy doilies unless I'm making a crocheted project bags. But most of my lacemaking is done by shuttle tatting. I make the distinction about the type of tatting I do because needle tatting has become vary popular among newer tatters as you don't have to deal with learning how to "flip" stitches which is required for shuttle tatting. I love that your friend make a keepsake from some of the yarn, that is actually a very fitting use for something that belonged to her and is associated with something she got so much pleasure from.bill_g wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 9:31 amRVInit wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 8:47 amI am yarn crazy enough that I would probably gladly take it off your hands!

Well, I don't know what kind she did. She and her friend spent hours weaving / winding multiple threads around a series of pin posts that ultimately turned into a long continuous lace piece about six inches wide. What the ultimate project was I'm not certain. I know somewhere around here are/were some lace table runners she made. We have a scadillion doilies - small, med, large, white, beige, brown, pink, square, round, rectangle, lumpy, flat, stained ... a whole bunch under every table frame photo, vase, doll, etc. Some of them are crocheted string I think. Some are from her lace maker. There's a difference in thread weight with lace being finer. She has bolts of store bought lace. Boxes of lace trim too.RVInit wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 2:01 pm What type of lacemaking did Barbara do?

She had her lace period before she moved on to something else.

I have watched video of that type of lacemaking. It was hard work to stop myself from buying the supplies to do it, it really looked like an enjoyable art with so many possibilities. I decides that shuttle tatting, sewing, knitting and crochet were enough and managed to overcome the strong desire to add bobbin lace making (I think that is what it's called) to the mix. I can totally see why your wife became interested in it. I bet you have some lovely lace.bill_g wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 6:08 pmWell, I don't know what kind she did.

Like so many artists, she had very distinct periods in her creations. When she got into something, she went head and heels. Whatever she had been doing was abandoned which is why I had tubs of unfinished projects now.

Oh, she did absolutely beautiful work. Those curtains are stunning. She was indeed an artist.

YES!!!!! I have inspired periods of creativity particularly when learning something new. The energy is not to be denied. It must OUT!

The City of Beaverton has a two story open lobby with a perpetual display of quilts that changes twice a year. Tillamook County painted numerous large tiles with quilt mosaics and hung them on open spaces like barn walls facing the highway.

Sisters, OR has a fabulous quilt show throughout their town every year, too. It's the world's largest outdoor quilt show and has well over 1000 quilts on display. They hang them on porches and balconies and buildings. Second Saturday in July every year.bill_g wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 12:26 pmVery nice. Excellent work.

The big quilt blocks are all over the country and are called barn quilts. We had a 4'x4' one on the studio for a while but a tornado-ish wind took it out a while back. https://barnquiltinfo.com/ has a map of all the ones that have been registered and many states have their own barn quilt trails.
