Colorways by Vicki Welsh

July was a great month for finishes. I think the biggest news was finishing my first garments in years. Both of these jackets are from the same pattern, Simplicity 9239. I made the feedsack version as a muslin but I will wear this one. The other one was made from some fabric gifted to me from my friend, Marcy. It’s going to be a great jacket for late Fall and early Spring.

I also got 6 veterans’ quilts quilted.

I also made 6 postcards, 9 fidget mats, a crochet shawl and a crochet blanket. Finally, I experimented a lot with gluten free sourdough bread. I had some failures but a couple of really good successes. I still have a lot of work to do to get edible crackers.

The best part of the month was Craft Camp with Ella. She’s 12 and loves making things. We made lots of things for hew new puppy and had a blast.
