Crazy flying geese quilt

Finished this crazy colorful quilt! It's full of mistakes and quirks but I love it! I was able to use all the scrap triangles from the flying geese to make hst and incorporate them in the quilt. I also had random orphan blocks that I was able to throw in the mix as well. I  mostly machine quilted this and then went back over certain sections and hand quilted just for an extra finishing touch.

Pomatomus socks

Finally finished these babies! A more complicated pattern than I'm used to in socks, but once I got into the flow of them they were actually quite nice to knit.

Shan and Phils Wedding Quilt

Finished this quilt for friends getting married in November. I had to limit myself color-wise and I rather like the result

Hexagon pillow

I've been wanting to recover one of my desk chair pillows and decided to make it from scraps using paper piecing. There's quite a bit of Star Trek fabric in it, which is funny because I finished it the weekend the new movie came out!

Finished and working on projects

Been playing around scraps and enjoying making random words with my new paper piecing alphabet pattern I got off Etsy. I've also been sewing random sizes of diamonds that will hopefully one day be a quilt. I finished a mini quilt for my mom for Mothers Day with her favorite catchphrase "Just Saying". I finished knitting my "Libbey shawl" and my hexagon mini quilt which is now hanging on my wall.

Crazy Improv Quilt 2

I've been working on this quilt for a while and just finished it last week. Lot of improvised log cabins and random blocks in this quilt. That's probably why I like it so much!

Jasseron Sweater

 Finished my Jasseron sweater a couple weeks ago. I wanted a sweater with a simple back and front but with patterned sleeves. I mulled over a many different options but this one was the closest I could find to what I wanted on Ravelry. I wasn't sold on the pattern at first because even though its a "raglan" it's knit in four separate pieces! (Not my fave, but hey it was a free pattern) I had to fanagle the sleeves and neck a bit in the sewing together process, but all in all not a bad finished sweater!
I used wool yarn from Briar Rose that I got at Maryland Sheep and Wool last year

Jovi's Baby Quilt

My Niece was born last week! Here's the quilt I made her. I tried to stick to only a couple different fabrics as well as a color theme. It's hard! I just want everything to be multicolored

Throwback Friday, yes I know it's supposed to be on Thursday

Here's a baby quilt I made last summer for a friend expecting a baby boy. She loves stars and thankfully I had this lovely fabric already in my stash 
                 
                I used a neon green grid fabric for the back
