I'm making good progress on the quilted panel I'm working on for Brawl. I've outlined all the figures, stuffed all but one, so I need to finish that one, and do the background quilting. Hopefully, that will go fairly quickly. I'm kind of over SCA projects right now. I'm going to finish this, and then I'm going to work on something else. I want the Irish dress, but I've given up on the leine for now. Instead, I'll wear one of the chemises I already have. I'd like to have spiffy new garb, but with the floor installation, though, we'll see. I've got a new day dress, made off the cotehardie pattern, but looser, enough so that it doesn't need to be buttoned.
I came up with an awesome design for a baby quilt. There's a traditional design, Grandmother's Garden, that's concentric circles of hexagons, usually with a yellow one in the center. I want to do that, but giant, so that one, maybe two rows, with pieces of hexagons to make a square, fill a 36-inch square. Outside of that, 12-inch wide borders with corner squares and appliqued bees in the corners. I think it would be awesome. The question is, should I do that for the nephew, or keep it for ours? No, my sister isn't far enough along to know the sex, but she has a feeling it's a boy, and so far, mom's intuition has a pretty good track record, so I'm calling it "he."
My next project, though will be a sweater for me. I'm excited about it. I found Stitch Nation yarn at Michael's for about $5 a skein. I got "Bamboo Ewe" in teal. It's a bamboo/wool blend, and a really good price for natural yarn.
