17ufosin2017 June Update

For my June update I'm going to start with something off my 17ufosin2017 list I've called this the Grandbirds Tree and it is a commission piece created for a family friend. The brief said the brighter the better! 

Grandbirds Tree

Now onto the list! I've had one finish with this knitted cowl. I don't really think knitting is for me (all that keeping count!). The variegated wool helps to hide a multitude of sins but it will keep me nice and warm this winter.

I've made substantial progress with the Value Proposition Quilt, I've finished piecing all of the hexies for the top and now I'm up to attaching the border.

I had envisioned mitred corners but didn't have enough fabric so I've made corner-stone blocks instead using colours from the border.

I have made four but forgot to photograph the last one :(

My main focus at the moment is Words to Live By, its really nice to work with wool in this wintry weather and I've finished three more blocks...

It's hard to believe we are half way through the year, looking forward to making more progress in the second half. I'm linking up to the 17ufosin2017 June linky party, thanks Meredithe for the motivation to get help us get this far.

Cheers
