TTMT #795 – #ttmtbom Month 5

Leave a reply

Today I’m coming to you from the past while I’m romping around the world with my favorite guy! I’m sharing my #ttmtbom blocks for September as well as some goodies I made for Jewells and her daughter.

Hat Pattern-ish!
The crochet hat is made with an H or I hook. For the adult hat I show here, chain ~38 (or as many as you need to reach nose to crown), turn, sc across, turn, ch 1, sc across in back loops only. Repeat until you reach the width you want, then turn, ch 1, slst in the back loops to close, gather the top, tie off, top with a pom pom if you like and you’re done!

Bird Feeders on Amazon (affiliate link) – Please note that there are LOTS of bird feeders with cameras out there, and even some that have a spot for the camera of your choice. What works for me may not work for you, so I won’t recommend a particular camera. If you’d like a setup like this, go for what you think would work best for you. Happy birding!

TTMT #793 – Thrifted Top Finish! (Quilty Show & Tell)

Leave a reply

In this week’s show & tell, I’m delighted to share my finished thrifted quilt! I found the quilt top at Austin Creative Reuse a few weeks ago. The quilting is free motion and was a wild ride due to the hand piecing. I also share a couple of small finishes. Links below!
