Finish Along "I will finish these" 2019, 3rd qtr

Oh my, two weeks since I last blogged. And what have we been up to? A weeks visit from our English grandson, a whirlwind in our presence. Just coming two, he is full of that never ending energy, climbing, swinging from door handles, crawling under over and through. I had forgotten just how full on a two year old is. And then we had more excitement, we have a granddaughter now in USA. That's the thing about love, you think the grandson has all your love, and he has, and then all of a sudden the love expands to take in another little bundle. Mother and baby, and dad, doing well, and now I can embroider the details on my quilt label.

And this brings us round to the Finish A Long, 3rd qtr for 2019. I missed the sign up for last quarter, a shame as I had quite a few finishes! I am sure I will be able to rustle up a few this time too. Here goes:

1  Kaffe Fossett quilt.  Privately and secretly and under my breath known at times as the Kaffe F****it quilt. I do love it really. It is basted, and all ready to start quilting.

2 Ambleside quilt. This may just look like a charm pack. It is a charm pack, with some added fabrics. It is however planned to be a quilty present for a good friend. I was sure I had two charm packs, but I can only find one. We will manage, we always do.

3 Fire burst quilt. The binding just needs to go on my Fireburst quilt, from a quilt a long with Tish.
     

4 Kingfisher quilt. I love this, Liberty fabric EPP on kona brights. I would love to finish this and get to use it.

5 Liberty EPP. My longstanding project. I can't finish this! When I finish this, my work here is done. I do love it and enjoy just looking at it. It has its own straw basket.
  

6 Mr C's Guernsey. This brings us into the knitting. I thought this was the jumper I knit my husband 30 odd years ago. He was right, it isn't the same jumper! It is a second jumper I intended to knit him. Ho hum. I am nearly but not quite up to the armhole division on the body, and I have a half of a sleeve done.  The autumn, September would be better is my deadline for a finish on this.

7 Amos Sweater. For me. Only one short sleeve to finish and the sewing up and neckline. I have run out of one of the two yarns used, so some creative work needed on the sleeves. Nearly finished.

8 Breton Sweater. For me. I will run out of yarn for this too. The yarn was bought 3 years ago for a poncho. I have 3 ponchos. How many ponchos can one woman wear. Four is too many! So, I am knitting a sweater, but have 8 skeins and not 10. Watch this space.

9 Floozy Cardigan. For me. As yet theoretically not begun, but half way done in my head. 



10 Yet another project bag. Some nice pink linen bought in a charity shop, large napkin sized, currently sewn along one side to a white linen napkin. Unlike ponchos, I can never have enough project bags.

11 Christmas cottage and gnomes. Don't laugh. Please. You can't say anymore than my husband has.

Well, I could add more, but I think this is enough to be going on with.
