Busy Hands Between Acts


When not on stage, I'm in the green room with fingers flying and needles clicking trying to get some presents finished. Here are a couple of examples.


Here's a sweater vest, scarf, and hat set. The hat and scarf used leftovers from my stash.












And here is a shawl for me. I plan to wear it during holiday highlights over my annual black velvet dress for a new look.










And finally, here's a peak at the 9-patch I've been working on. It will have to wait until after Charlotte's Web is over before I'm able to start the quilting.
