Envelope Art - Maple Leaf

I started with a new sketchbook.


Draw out the image for the envelope. When you are satisfied, outline the image and erase any remaining pencil marks.


Trace the image on light weight paper. Cut to size of envelope. I used 5in x 7in envelopes.


Place the image in the envelope.


 Trace the image onto the envelope using a light box or window.


Insert card and address to your favorite friends!


Template for use in a 5 in x 7 in envelope:

Pink Socks for October

My first pair of knitted socks! They were knitted on double pointed needles. The pattern was found on the back of the yarn label. I think I'll try the next pair on circular needles.






Does anyone have any suggestions on how NOT to bind on stitches TOO tightly? I use the two strand method but invarariably, the first row is tight with no give.

Any comments to assist would be very helpful!

Started in 2017 - finish in 2018. Linking up with crazy mom quilts.
