  4. Your projects had lots of progress during the month of March. Such a lot of diversity in what you're working on. It helps from getting bored.

  5. The Dear Jane blocks look beautiful The fabric background in the lower left block is of my favorites. I'm going to regret using it up. I love the Rabbit Hole quilt!

  8. Oh Gosh Elaine you are amazing so many very very different projects and every one so perfectly beautifully. which one do I like the most???? sorry I can not tell you I keep changing my mind from one to the other LOL I will have to look up Down the Rabbit hole now that looks like fun!!!!! Perfect perfect wee DJ blocks each one a wee piece of art. Your silk shading skills I'd love to have, my mum use to do this but I just could not get my stitches to blend smoothly like yours. Sweet sweet wee babies jacket that must have taken ages to make. You are so lucky you can knit such a dark fine Estonian Lace Scarf it reminds me of a incredible lace ring shawl a friend gave me from Lewis Is. Gosh I'm tired just looking at all you ahve achieved LOL Cheers Glenda

  9. One of my friends is doing Down the Rabbit hole in blue fabrics, so it looks quite different to yours. Your goldfinch is beautiful - I am looking forward to seeing more of it in the months to come.

  10. Well done, Elaine! You have such a gorgeous variety of projects to be working on. That Estonian knitting is amazing - I wouldn't know where to begin (think I'll stick to socks!)

  11. Oh my, you have so, so many beautiful projects in the pipeline. Your hexie project has me excited. =) I love the look of "down the rabbit hole", it has so many gorgeous colours and patterns. Your cardigan is sweet and I am loving the look of your DJ blocks; such lovely and peaceful colours. Pretty Gold Finch embroidery and as for your Estonian lace knitting, I am not at all surprised you made a few boo boos, it looks very complicated.

  14. Elains, everything is so pretty! Sorry to take so long to leave a comment - I've been crazy busy trying to finish a quilt for today (didn't make it), and also forming a business for providing quilting. Your "full of mistakes" piece is so much nicer than I could ever produce. ;D
